Just in case you thought that I was kidding here is a summary of the course:

"This joint technology/arts course includes an introduction to the principles of sound and acoustics and relates musical terms and fundamentals to their physical equivalents. You will study the operation and characteristics of various musical instruments, the ways that music can be represented and stored, the fundamentals of recording, manipulation and transmission of sound, and current developments and some associated legal/commercial issues.

Students will need a personal computer with a sound card that includes general MIDI, and a high-quality means of listening to music. No pre-requisites are required, but a basic knowledge of music and musical notation is recommended."
