MUS 122 Honors Introduction to Listening
This course will explore one of the fundamental modes of aesthetic expression, music. Presupposing no formal training on the part of the students, we will explore aural skills and tools for recognition through study of music fundamentals and masterworks of Euro-American art music from the Baroque era (1600s) to the present. At the same time, students will be given an overview of the development of Western art music, and critically think how that development relates to larger issues of culture and society. This course is a combination of both online work for which the students are responsible outside of class time, as well as in-class work during the class meeting times each week. Please pay close attention to the online course deadlines as we move through the semester.
