Come learn about the basics of superconductivity! In this class, I will explain the basics behind a truly unique phenomenon in nature: in a superconductor, electrical current can flow forever!

Play an instrument/voice? Want to try/practice/experiment with improv? No prior improv experience necessary! No particular style (e.g., Pop, Jazz) is given a privileged role. So please join us for some improvsation games! Depending on the class size, we will divide the class into sections, and a battle of the bands will commence.

If you've ever tried composing music, you might be used to staring at a blank piece of staff paper, wondering what dots to write next. While this tried-and-true approach has lead to many masterpieces throughout the ages, it is often time-consuming. In this class, we will discuss alternative approaches to composing, from graphical notation to written instructions that are quick . Examples include Terry Riley's In C. Performance of works will take place in class and may include performance of an in-class composition (time permitting). Instruments are helpful but not necessary. Singing---or for that matter any other creative form of noise making---is perfectly acceptable.
