Abstract
While music students are commonly exposed to musical acoustics in a formal course, there is a trend for music schools to become increasingly active in research involving acoustics, with applications to relevant sub-disciplines of music. Upper-level undergraduate courses in a music school have been designed for use also by graduate students in the following areas: a full-year sequence in music science, computer applications to music, and musical applications of digital signal processing. All have instructional components involving acoustics, and all make use of a microcomputer center comprised of six music workstations. Specialized peripherals and software demonstrate acoustical phenomena and serve as tools for work in musical acoustics, music perception and cognition, music engineering, computer music, and automated music transcription. One important benefit is that effective use of computers helps music students without extensive background in calculus or the physical sciences grasp technical concepts more readily.
