Music 254/CS 275b "Music Query, Analysis, and Style Simulation"
Stanford University (Spring 2019).

This is an old syllabus. Also, see the most recent Music 254/CS 275b Syllabus.

This music information retrieval course builds on the foundation of Music 253/CS 275A. Using an open-source analysis platform (such as the Humdrum Toolkit (unix/bash shell), Humdrum Extras (C++), or Music21 (Python), or their preferred programming language/environment) students plan and design their own applications involving symbolic musical data.

The first four weeks cover basic areas of music analysis and retrieval and introduce basic principles of using the Humdrum Toolkit. Students may be assigned individual reading assignments pertinent to their research topic areas. The remaining six weeks are spent on individual project development, with weekly reports and discussions. Extensive help is available in the lab during hours allotted to class time. Students give verbal and written reports on their research at the end of the quarter. Some projects may be appropriate for continuation in independent-study modules.


Meeting times: Tuesdays & Thursdays 1:30–2:50
Location: Braun Music Building, Rooms 131 (lectures), 128 (lab entry from Room 129)

Office Hours: 3:05–4:05 After class and by appointment.
Credits: 2–4
Grading:

25% class participation, 75% project

  • Project proposal: 2+ pages, due Thurs. 18 April 2019
