Music

This course covers the fundamentals of music including notation, harmony, ear training, and basic keyboard skills. It is aimed toward those who are interested in song writing, arranging, and performing. 

The ability to read music is helpful but is not a prerequisite.

The focus of this course is on Music of the 18th and early 19th centuries as reflective of the life and spirit of the times: social change, philosophical trends, the role of the artist in society, etc. Special attention is paid to Haydn, Mozart, and the early Beethoven; as well as to the relationships between the life and functions of music in that era and in our own.

Nineteenth-century romantic music in the context of a culture characterized by the continuous ferment of revolutionary thought, social change, and experimentation in the arts. Attention to parallels between changes in the socio-political world and changes in the world of music and the arts. 

Includes extensive listening experiences.
