COURSE DESCRIPTION
An introduction to music of the Western world and its cultures through a variety of listening experiences. Selected masterpieces, most dating from the 16th century through the present, are the subject of exploration. The students' aural perceptions will be enhanced by guided instruction in (1) the basic materials and traditional techniques of music, (2) the genres and forms which have come into contemporary use, (3) the nature and variety of music styles that can be examined, and (4) the extraordinary people who created our musical art. As music is an aural art, listening in and out of the class will challenge and sharpen listening skills.
