ABSTRACT
This paper presents the approaches and expectations of a recently launched course at New York University (NYU) in the design and development of musical controllers. The framework for the course, which is also entitled "New Interfaces for Musical Expression," is largely based on the proceedings of the first NIME workshop held in Seattle, WA in April 2001.
