First Year Experience: Women Who Rock!

Catalog description

Women Who Rock! This course explores the stories of trailblazing women in music from the Middle Ages to today. Have you heard of Mozart, the musical genius? If so, did you know that he had a sister with similar talents and abilities? Did you know that Elvis Presley’s big hit, “Hound Dog'' was first recorded by a woman? In addition to covering the content presented in all FYEX courses, we will look at music as it developed over the past millennium through the lens of the often overlooked – the Women who Rock! Credit will only be granted for one FYEX 100 course, regardless of letter or title.
