The purpose of this course is to help you gain a new appreciation towards the music you listen to on a daily basis, as well as to provide you with a safe space to learn a new instrument or improve on previously-learned skills. This course is designed to inspire you to understand why people around the world listen to the music they listen to and to understand different musical perspectives. We will make music something that we can participate in, through creating new music, reinventing old music, performing live music or supporting live music. We will also examine the vocabulary that enables us to explain why we like the music we like, rather than to simply say ‘because its good or bad.’
Part of the course will be a semester-long blog project. Just like this webpage, you will create your own space where you can hand in assignments electronically, create a personal blog with musically-focused discussions, comment on other classmates’ blogs and take learning into your own hands.
One to two classes per week will be dedicated to working on your webpage. This will be structured but you will have the opportunity to work on independent projects to earn extra marks.
