//• Why is it a part of everything we do? //
The main goals of this course are to foster curiosity and openness to both familiar and unfamiliar musical worlds, and to examine and understand the function of music in the human experience. We will explore how we encounter music in our day-to-day lives through the study of music history, world music, popular music, theater and media. A review of basic music theory and the elements of music will provide students with a working vocabulary as they learn to recognize, appreciate, and analyze a variety of genres and musical styles. The role of technology in the world of music today will be addressed both as a means of consumption and creation.
