2018 INNO SUMMER INSTITUTE

Mechanics of Music

Course Description

In this course, students will use the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to develop a more intuitive understanding of sound. The focus of the first week will be the biological mechanisms behind how humans interact with and process acoustic information. Students will also study how other species leverage sounds that are past human extremities to locate food and communicate with one another. After developing the necessary concepts, students will apply what they've learned about sound (frequency, wavelength, speed, attenuation, etc.) to a culminating project: building their own Kalimba.
