PHYS 1320 - Musical Acoustics


Credits: 3

Covers both the acoustics (physical sound properties) and the psycho-acoustics (psychological, perceptual properties) of music. Topics include sound in general, sound of musical instruments (including voice), sound characteristics of rooms, electronic production (synthesis), and reproduction of sound. No prior knowledge of physics is assumed. While this course requires no previous formal training in music theory, it is helpful if students have a basic understanding of musical scales and notation.
