MUSIC

Introduction to Music (MUHI 101)
Introduction to music explores a wide variety of music cultures, from ancient Japan to modern country, including pop and folk, jazz, world, and classical. It is not necessary to play an instrument or read music, just to have an open ear and a willingness to listen. Activities will include reacting to music that you hear, describing the differences between styles of music and writing about a live musical event of your choice. Students will discover new musical styles to add to their favorites and gain a new appreciation for music's role in daily life.
