Animal Music

“Animal Music” is a graduate seminar offered periodically at Princeton University. The seminar considers various responses to the question: Do animals make music? We will approach the question in an interdisciplinary manner, and from three broad perspectives: from the perspective of composers, from the perspective of the history of science, and from the vantage of contemporary animal behavior science. The seminar aims to give participants a solid, if not exactly comprehensive, view of the field.
