Clz Music For Mac



Our web-team has been working on this for a long time, but it is now LIVE: a new search engine for Artist/Title searches in our Core online music database and Discogs. An engine that is both better and much, much faster!


The music department offers many opportunities for general students and for students interested in music as a major or minor. All performing ensembles and most courses are open to majors and non-majors alike, although some courses carry prerequisites. The music major provides preparation for graduate study in music, and many music-related jobs and professions. The major and minor prepare students for lifelong enjoyment of music through the study of appropriate skills, repertoire, and performance practice.

All courses in the music department count toward the general distribution requirement in fine arts except, on occasion, courses cross-listed with other departments. Credit accumulated through ensemble performance and studio instruction counts toward the general distribution requirement upon completion of four consecutive semesters. These four consecutive semesters must be taken in a single ensemble or performance medium in order to fulfill the distribution requirement.


Performing ensembles are open to students by audition without regard for music major or minor status. These groups include the large vocal and instrumental ensembles, chamber music groups in the Western concert tradition, and other ensembles performing a spectrum of musical styles: African Music Ensemble, Mac Jazz (big band jazz), Early Music Ensemble, Highland Pipe Band, and the Mac Jazz and Popular Music Combos. Additional chamber ensembles such as string quartets and flute ensembles are formed in response to student interest. Students are also involved as soloists, conductors, or managers for the ensembles. Special performance projects such as dance concerts requiring live and electronic music, opera, and musical theater are scheduled as opportunities arise.


Studio instruction in voice, piano, harpsichord, organ, guitar, all standard orchestral instruments, jazz improvisation, bagpipe, African drumming, African flute, African voice, viola da gamba, recorder, and sitar, is available to all students in the College. Studio instruction is with studio faculty who are all active professional musicians.


Ensembles are open to all Macalester students. Selection of members is usually made on the basis of auditions in the fall. Students joining an ensemble are expected to remain active in it throughout both fall and spring terms. However, it is possible to audition to join an ensemble in the second term. Students with a declared major in music are encouraged to participate in ensembles for their entire residence as a major, with two semesters required in one of the following: Orchestra, Mac Jazz Band, Concert Choir, Macalester Chorale, or African Music Ensemble. Students with a declared minor in music are required to participate in ensembles for at least two semesters. Specific information about ensemble participation and required length may be found in the major/minor section, see below.


All music majors and minors will take Keyboard Skills for one or two semesters depending on placement. Instruction takes the form of a weekly private piano lesson. Towards this end, each music major and minor is offered a fee reduction to complete these lessons. Students will normally complete their first semester concurrently with MUSI 113; students with advanced standing will be placed appropriately. Required skills include sight reading and the ability to play major and minor scales (hands together), triads in inversions (broken and solid), simple chord progressions, and short pieces in contrasting styles.


The music department participates in the honors program. Eligibility requirements, application procedures and specific project expectations for the department are available from either the department office or the Academic Programs and Advising Office.


A major in music will consist of a mix of courses, ensemble participation, studio lessons, keyboard skills instruction, and the completion of a senior capstone. Music majors whose primary advisor is not a music faculty member should establish a second advisor in music; the complexity of major requirements necessitates regular review of one's progress toward the major.


The capstone for majors in music will consist of a choice of one of the following: (1) a recital, (2) a written thesis in theory or musicology, (3) a recording project such as an album, or (4) a composition project or portfolio. Details of these choices follow below. All capstones culminate in public presentation appropriate to their nature and scope. All majors will register in MUSI 488 (Senior Project), in their final semester. This is a 2-credit course that will count towards the total credit load; please plan accordingly.

Few streaming music services exploded onto the market and into the public consciousness like Apple Music in 2015. Backed by Cupertino's marketing juggernaut and millions of existing iTunes users, Apple Music has given its top rival, Spotify, quite a race.


Apple Music offers up 60 million songs. It is a default music app on iOS devices, and Android users can download it from Google Play. On the desktop, find it in the new Music app in macOS Catalina or via iTunes on Windows. You can even stream it on a Chromebook, and in September, it launched on the web in beta(Opens in a new window).


That's the big picture, but the music service has lots of goodies beneath the hood. These tips and tricks will help you get the most out of Apple Music, or at least prevent it from getting the better of you.


Apple has a spotty track record when it comes to social networking and connecting its users (which might be for the best). But if you want to get music recommendations from friends, navigate to For You > User Profile icon () > See What Friends are Listening To > Get Started > Continue to Find Contacts. If no one in your contacts is on Apple Music, you can invite them or search for specific people. Once connected, you can see what they're listening to or check out shared playlists(Opens in a new window).


Once you activate See What Friends are Listening To, Apple Music will create a profile for you. Control who can access it and see your listening habits by tapping For You > [your profile icon] > View Profile > Edit. Here you can limit who can follow your activity by selecting People You Approve (vs. Everyone). Your profile will also list the music you've been listening to; make that private by toggling "Listening To" to off. You can also delete your Apple Music profile (which won't affect your subscription).


You like playlists, I like playlists, we all like playlists. Themed music collections are the way to go for those times when you need extra energy for a gym session or soft vibes for falling asleep. Music in your playlists are likely to be tunes you dig, so a handy Apple Music feature lets you automatically add playlist tracks to your Library. Activate it under Settings > Music > Add Playlist Songs.


Hate that For You tab because you already know what you like, and hell, you already have all the music you want? You can stay subscribed to Apple Music while hiding it from view. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Music and turn off Show Apple Music. Next time you open the Music App, the For You and Browse tabs will be gone, and it will show Library, Radio, and Search.


The default setting is that you only get to download music to the phone using Wi-Fi. You can change that by going into Settings > Music > Cellular Data. Turn on the Cellular Data option so you can update your library and album art. You can also set it here to allow cell data for getting the highest quality streaming and to do downloads. It's up to you to make sure you don't hit your data cap, if you have one.


You can listen to Apple Music across devices once you sign in with your Apple ID. On the desktop, you do so via the Music app on macOS Catalina (pictured); on earlier versions of macOS or on Windows, iTunes lives on for your music needs. If you're all thumbs on a smartphone, this is the best way to do some of the detail work, like adding things to playlists and creating Smart Playlists.


You don't need to use Apple Music's default audio settings. The service includes an equalizer that lets you boost various frequencies, as well as up the bass and adjust the surround sound. You don't get to set levels, but can pick general statements that help you pick a perfect balance. First, go into Apple Music and start playing some music. Then go to Settings > Music > EQ and tap the options until you get the sound you like.


Naturally, Apple would prefer you ask Siri for all your music needs, but Amazon's Alexa is also happy to cue up some tunes on its smart speakers. Just designate Apple Music as your music-streaming service of choice in the Alexa app and then ask her to play some music.


Spotify got a lot of play on social media with its Wrapped feature, which highlighted the songs and artists you had on repeat this year (and decade). But you can do the same on Apple Music with Replay. On the web, navigate to beta.music.apple.com/replay(Opens in a new window) for a rundown of your 2019 favorites. 2ff7e9595c
