MA STER CERTIFIC A TEArranging and OrchestrationArranging and orchestration skills are a hot commodity. Placem ents on television, in video games and animation, and in other modern revenue outlets require a detailed understanding of arranging, orchestral writing, and production techniques. In the Master Certificate in Arranging and Orchestration, you’ll gain a broad but in-depth background in arranging—for the rhythm section, horns, and strings—to writing for the full orchestra and gain marketable skills that you’ll be able to put to work immediately.You’ll start the certificate with Arranging: Small Ensemble and Horns, which focuses on sm aller bands and larger ensembles. You’ll learn techniques that can be applied to both live instrumentation or sequenced/sa mpled sounds. You'll explore the properties of the horn section—including the trum pet, trom bone, and alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones—and study techniques and melodic em bellishments that will give you a basic understanding of writing/arranging for these instruments.You’ll then move onto Arranging: Advanced Horn Writing, where you’ll learn more advanced arranging techniques for the rhythm section and horn section. You'll learn unison, 2, 3, 4, and 5-part writing, and study techniques for voicing chords, orchestration, articulations, and background lines. You'll also learn advanced topics of harmony, such as tension substitutions and lower interval limits, knowledge that you can use to create m ore expressive and captivating music for both live instrumentation or sequenced/sam pled sounds.In Arranging: Woodwinds and Strings, you'll gain a true understanding of the sound and personality of woodwind and string instruments, exploring the fundamental properties of each instrument or group of instruments—its extrem e range, practical or useable range, and inherent idiosyncrasies. You’ll also learn how to apply this information to actual songs, arrangements, and com positions—and in a variety of commercial music settings, such as television and film.Once you have t his solid foundation in arranging, you’ll move on to orchestration techniques. In Orchestration 1, you’ll expand your writing knowledge base and apply traditional and emerging orchestration techniques to both sam pled performances and live orchestral perfor mances. You’ll also learn how to create modern day orchestral sounds and identify the characteristics and idiomatic writing techniques for each orchestral instrument family: strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion.The required courses in this certificate program conclude with our most advanced orchestration course, Orchestration 2. Building on the techniques presented in Orchestration 1, this extensive course equips students with new strategies andapproaches to writing for full orchestra. You’ll gain th e tools you need to succeed—from making orchestration choices based on the tone color of the various instruments, to voicing chords and progressions. You’ll also take an in-depth look at orchestrating from single layer material such as solos and homophonic statem ents, to complex textures of four or more layers—music that is too com plex to fit into a traditional melody/counterm elody/harmony format.After com pleting the program’s core course work, you’ll choose three electives to steer your studies in your ow n direction. You’ll choose from courses covering a wide array of deeper topics in Arranging, Orchestration, and Songwriting. By the end of this all-encom passing certificate program, you’ll gain the flexibility and knowledge necessary to create dynam ic arrangements and orchestral pieces that will provide you with immense credibility in the musical world as well as pieces that can be used in incom e generation situations.Substitutions m ay be requested for electives.
