56-1881 Physics of Musical Instruments Students study the physics of common musical instruments and discover the mathematical foundation of musical scales. This course explores mechanical oscillation, wave motion, the concept of pitch, and the harmonic series. Students investigate the complex timbre of musical instruments through hands-on laboratory experiments using waves and spectrum analysis, and develop scales with sound generation software. For a final project, students construct functional musical instruments and perform an original music composition.
