EXPLORING THE WORLD OF MUSIC (ART-221514)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > The Arts >

Course Description:

This introductory course in music appreciation considers how people engage in music-making activities in various cultures. Students will learn to interpret and write about music using terms and concepts from assigned readings, and they will learn to articulate their understanding of particular musical phenomena (pieces, styles, composers or performers, instruments, performance venues, recording technologies, etc.) in social, cultural, and historical contexts. In so doing, students will learn to interpret one or more aspects of music-making as artistic or as creative process. Each student will have ample opportunity to shape and direct the focus of their learning according to their own interests and purposes.

Note: this course has required CD components.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in The Arts.
