Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(28)
In this 3 week course, students will listen to examples of composers and bands using various forms of hidden codes in their music. In the final week, learners will compose their own hidden messages in music. Can we crack your coded song?
Class experience
Week One: Students will be introduced to the idea of hidden codes in music. We will learn about the most well-known codes that have been employed in music and listen to examples of music by classical composers such as Bach, Brahms, Shostakovitch, and others. This focus will be on musical "signatures" using note names. Students will learn the French and German methods of music cryptograms, which were the most common. Week Two: We will learn the basics and history of Morse Code. Also discussed...
I’m a music teacher with an active music teaching certificate in Connecticut (USA). Additionally, I compose and arrange music regularly for myself or my music students
Homework Offered
After the second class, students will be assigned the task of creating their own musical theme or motif using their choice of the codes studied. Students can complete the project by hand, or by using any free notation websites such as Noteflight or MuseScore. Students should submit their projects within 24 hours of the final class so that I can have it ready to share with the class the next day. Regardless if students send in their project handwritten or on a notation site, I will create midi audio playbacks of their composition.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
YouTube videos of musical scores with be screen-shared in class. Noteflight is an optional but recommended free website for students to complete their composition project. Students may choose to write out their composition by hand, but many have preferred using Noteflight to write their composition project and hear the playback recording. If students and families choose to use Noteflight, they will need to create their free account.
We will watch sections of YouTube videos to follow along with the score and sound of the musical excerpts we discuss
