“American Chamber Music for Piano and String(s), Part II : 1950-present”
Instructor: Dr. Kyung-A Yoo
Open to both undergraduates and graduates.
This course is a one-credit lecture/seminar-style class. The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to lesser-known American chamber works for piano and string(s) and to expand their knowledge of the American chamber music repertoire.
At the beginning of the course, the instructor will present lectures on selected American composers such as Elliot Carter, Morton Feldman, George Rochberg, John Corigliano, George Crumb, Vincent Persichetti, Mario Davidovsky, and two female composers, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich and Joan Tower. After the lecture period, students are required to form groups of strings and piano. Each group will be assigned to learn and perform at least one work per semester.
Course participants will prepare a brief introduction to the work (speech or written form) to develop their communication skills with audiences.

F420/F520 Topics in Performance Study
Communication in performance.
1-2 credits. 11:15-1:10 T MC040. Instructor: Professor Kay Kim (post-doc faculty in collaborative piano, woodwinds)
Open to undergraduate, graduate, and diploma students in woodwind, brass, piano, and strings. Examples drawn primarily from the woodwind repertoire.
Communication in Performance is a course in duo playing for woodwind, brass, and string soloists with piano. The artistic objective of this class is to cultivate individual independence in music-making as ensemble players by learning how to analyze one’s critical listening process and how to communicate with one’s peers and the audience both musically and verbally. The class will meet as a whole for performances and seminars (no more than two hours a week) and for individual duo coachings which will result in public performance. The topics for class discussion seminars will include several practical means of musical communication (e.g. rhythm, tone, texture, phrasing, form) and also ways to accomplish some of the extra-musical tasks that are involved in promoting oneself. Students taking the course for 2 credits will be expected to submit an additional writing assignment with a related topic of his/her choice approved by proposal.
