Description
Listening to Music will introduce students to some of the world’s musical cultures with an emphasis on
becoming an educated and informed music listener and consumer. In MUS 101, students will study
musical materials, such as melody, harmony, and rhythm, while also closely studying the historical and
cultural context for each example. The topics covered will vary each time the course is offering, but will
always attempt to present a historically, culturally, and stylistically broad selection.
