MUH 2011 Music Appreciation

This introductory course is designed to teach students how to appreciate music. It uses a listening-centered approach to familiarize students with important musical works and terminology and to develop active listening skills. Using this approach as a spring board, the course provides an overview of western music history and a brief survey of certain American popular music, and delves into cultural context in its discussion of composers, styles, forms, and performance settings. This is a humanities distribution course. (3 hrs. Lect.)
