- Course objectives
- The teaching provides elementary knowledge in the application of a computer in music. It can expand students knowledge of computers art, algorithmization, programming of music composing. Students will learn about professional programs for composing, editing, notation and reproduction of sounds and with electroacoustic and computer music as an art production and its application in computer games and animation. At the end of the course students should be able to studium and create programs of music.
