Whale Music
About Whale Music
Are you a fan of the ocean and do you love marine life? Did you know that whales and dolphins have a culture, and that they make music? In this course we dive under the surface of the ocean and learn about the music of another species – cetaceans. We will analyse recordings made using hydrophones, learn about the structure of whale song and even how we can learn to play this music on our own instruments. This can teach us much about listening to the natural world, extending our range of instrumental skills and give us new ways of composing.
This class is limited to 40 students.
Class Goals
- 1. Learn about the culture of several species of whale and dolphin
- 2. Learn to find publicly available recordings marine mammals
- 3. Using free software, learn to analyse recordings and create spectrograms – a visual representation of the sound
- 4. Create scores using these images that we can play on our instruments
