Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage adult learners in an activity that deepens understanding of recent music history in general and Karlheinz Stockhausen in particular We will be successful if discussion and listener reflections indicate that learners are increasing their knowledge of Stockhausen’s musical contributions and significance and are discovering personal meaning in his music. 2: Present an activity through which learners explore the sound world of Karlheinz Stockhausen and translate their learning to the creation of a composition. We will be successful if the interactive compositional activity we create enables learners to create varied compositions that exhibit individuality as well as the influence of Stockhausen’s musical world.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants increased their understanding of Stockhausen’s unique place in music history and increased their understanding of his music. Success was evaluated through monitoring group discussion by a third party evaluator and analysis of responses on an evaluation grid. 2: Participants increased creative ability by interpreting and improvising works by Stockhausen. Teaching artists observed participants improvising and offered verbal feedback.
