MU102 Special Topics in Music

MU102 is designed for students interested in music, but not planning to make it a major/minor: no musical knowledge is presumed. Listening and music creation are a focus, while the elements of music are taught from a cultural and historical context. The content is broad in scope, covering folk, classical and popular styles from western and non-western approaches and perspectives. The student can choose from three distinct themes, each in its own course section, offered on a two-year cycle. The three themes are: (1) The Song, from Bach to Hip-hop (2) Music and World Culture, (3) Music: The Composer's Voice. See campus web for details on which section will be offered. Addresses GLE Learning Outcomes Arts and Design, Creative Thinking, and Oral Communication.
