National Taitung Senior High School - Music Composition and AI Physical Performance
Course 114-2 continues the framework of Course 114-1, adding AI imagery and physical performance to present an interweaving of auditory and visual elements. The music composition section starts from students' life experiences, encouraging them to create music on themes closely related to themselves. Using student works combined with AI imagery and live physical performance, the course presents an interweaving of auditory and visual elements. The auditory musical works are presented as concrete images through musical narratives by AI, and the composer and listener then perform through physical means using the music and images. This course process allows learners to embark on an artistic journey of "new creation," utilizing self-awareness, social awareness, and interpersonal interaction skills from Social Emotional Learning (SEL). The physical performance process involves the dancer's understanding of the musical composition, self-dialogue, and the re-creation of the work by incorporating life experiences.
The core of the course lies in artistic translation and depth of meaning: students do not merely create music, but rather practice "self-awareness" and "social awareness" in SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) through the introduction of knowledge from biology and history. The final creative work requires students to start from a first-person or third-person perspective, endowing the people, events, and things of the ocean with a higher level of philosophical thought (such as: loneliness and freedom, fear and courage), so that the creation has a profound storytelling power and artistic value, rather than just a superficial stacking of melodies.

Course Objectives:
1. Build musical foundation and digital creation skills: Through digital tools, students will master the principles of piano playing, melody editing and harmonic accompaniment, and become proficient in using AI music tools (SUNO) to assist in creation, thus overcoming the technical bottleneck of insufficient prior knowledge.
2. Practice interdisciplinary inquiry and knowledge translation: Students can combine marine ecological knowledge (such as plankton and deep-sea bioluminescent organisms) provided by biology teachers with the background of the Age of Exploration provided by history teachers to translate scientific facts and historical context into artistic texts with aesthetic elements.
3. Deepen self-awareness and social-emotional literacy (SEL): Guide students to capture inner emotions in their works (e.g., capturing "independence and loneliness" through the image of an orca dancing alone in the deep sea) or empathize with group emotions (e.g., the fear of the unknown during the Age of Exploration), and demonstrate reflection on their attitude towards life.
4. Produce musical works with narrative depth and philosophical thought: Students can comprehensively utilize rhythm, timbre, instrumentation, and storytelling to create ocean narrative music with artistry and personal perspective, and can clearly explain the logic of creative inspiration and voice arrangement.
5. Embodying the spirit of collaboration and self-directed learning: Under the spirit of innovative teaching in deep learning (NPDL), students are guided to independently choose marine themes that interest them, actively solve creative problems in discussions with teachers and peers, and conduct in-depth teaching feedback and self-evaluation in the publication of their results.
6. The in-depth exploration of the artwork will be presented through AI-generated live-action footage, and participants will experience the creator's meaning through physical movement.
Design Concept Summary: This course breaks down disciplinary barriers through the Innovative Learning in Deep Learning (NPDL) collaborative model, allowing students in the "Musical Composition" elective course to use AI digital tools to transform their coastal life experiences into cross-disciplinary aesthetic narrative works that integrate marine science, adventure history, and SEL self-awareness. AI images are added to 114-2 to concretely present the meaning of the works, and through physical movement, listeners can more deeply feel the composer's musical pulse.
