Curriculum
Creativitas connects students with MIT Music Technology researchers through an immersive program blending creativity and innovation. Through lectures, hands-on workshops, and projects, students explore emerging technologies shaping the future of music.
Programming
Intro to Programming
Students progress from an introduction to programming to creating musical abstractions and generative music systems.
Programming Musical Abstractions
The curriculum moves from introductory programming to the development of musical abstractions and generative music.
Programming Generative Music
Students begin with programming fundamentals and advance to musical abstractions and generative music systems.
Music Tech
Fundamentals of Music Technology
The curriculum moves from introductory programming to the development of musical abstractions and generative music.
Musical Electronics
Students begin with programming fundamentals and advance to musical abstractions and generative music systems.
Music Creation
Electronic Music Composition
Students explore techniques and tools for composing electronic music through sound design, structure, and experimentation.
Electronic Music Performance
Students develop skills in performing electronic music using hardware, software, and live performance systems.
Music and Social Impact
Music and AI
Students examine how artificial intelligence is used to analyze, generate, and interact with music.
Music and Culture
Students explore music as a cultural practice shaped by social, historical, and global contexts.
Our Philosophy
Creativitas is built on the idea that music technology draws from computer science, engineering, music composition, and performance. We expose students to current research in music technology, emphasizing how these innovations are applied to music creation. Students work directly with software and hardware developed through ongoing MIT research projects. The learning process is centered around building, coding, and performing, giving students hands-on experience with the research and creative process. Templates and examples are provided to help students get started, while encouraging them to develop and expand their own ideas.
