Description

For non-music majors only. A guide of students with limited or no musical experience to gain a great sensitivity, understanding, and appreciation for a variety of musical styles. Cultural and other artistic influences will be discussed and the student' listening skills will improve as they learn what musical elements make each style unique. The main emphasis of learning is early to modern classical music, and as time allows will include basic introductions to folk, jazz, and rock. Lecture and listening to recordings are the primary methods of instruction.
