A Musical Odyssey

Catalog description

Designed for non-majors. Music is a language, and in learning a new language, one must first learn the rudiments and basic rules that govern that language. The course will cover the building blocks of the music language, to include pitch, rhythm, scales, and chords, and will conclude with a study of melody, harmony and how music is constructed. Students will gain experience with these concepts through a combination of "nuts and bolts" exercises, performance, composition, and written reflection/critique. GCP Coding: (ARTS) (WCOM).
