This course is dedicated to the study of applied acoustics, specifically relating to musical instruments. Students will learn topics such as vibrating strings, bars, reeds, and membranes and how these simple mechanisms couple with air to make distinctly different sounds. Students will also learn measurement techniques to analyze the vibration and sound of the instruments and correlate the measurements with what we hear. The class will include lecture/demonstrations, guest speakers, and in-class lab work.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
