MUSC 153 - Music Appreciation

Credit(s): 3
Contact Hours: 3

Music Appreciation is a comprehensive survey of western music form and style from the Medieval period to present day. Asian, African and Native American musical styles are also explored. Biographical information on major composers is included and students will recognize many of their best known works from each style period. A study of each period also includes historical background on art, world events, technology and political and religious influences. Class discussion is encouraged as these “external factors” still affect the arts today. Each class meeting involves lecture and multimedia presentations. Music Appreciation is offered to general college students who have little or no musical background. Meets Humanities requirement.
