<p>Musictechdad, that’s a great list. This thread has helped me a lot and I hope in the future students/applicants can do a search and see your posts and kmcmom’s too. </p>
<p>I think that one thing that got me thinking (apart from my daughter’s investigations) is that there has been a recent reference to a well-known film composer who barely reads music. I can now see how that might be possible.</p>
<p>I also like some of the reference here of terms like “noise”, “sound,” and…" music" (as well as what a composer actually is and will be in this technological context).</p>
<p>From now on, when someone comes on this forum asking questions in any of these areas, it will help to know exactly how broad, varied and nuances the different fields are.</p>
<p>p.s. I googled Arduino at my daughter’s suggestion and still don’t really understand!</p>
