Peabody is offering the following for-credit online graduate courses this summer.

Music defines our media experiences. Musical themes can likewise go beyond their original audiovisual framework to operate as musical-cultural texts. This online, asynchronous course uses music as a tool to investigate musical branding and the creation of meaning in the media we consume every day. Through close viewings – and listenings – of films, television episodes, video games, commercials, and other media, this course will explore the meaning(s) these media construct and acquire as both they and their music are re-used and re-purposed in multimedia franchises that expand their content into myriads of installments and platforms.

This music theory seminar consults literature in the field of music cognition to explore how it may inform music analysis, which in turn has implications for both performer and listener.

Building a Brand and Portfolio is a two-credit course which focuses on career development training. Students will develop a digital portfolio, including a website, supporting media, artist bio, and resume. Course also covers key professional skills including networking, negotiating, applying for jobs, and financial management.
