MUS 106 - Music Appreciation

In this course students consider many styles of music through their common elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, instruments and form by listening to and discussing pieces. Students do not need to read music during this course nor have any previous musical training. As students study the practices of music in many societies across the world and from early times to the music of today, they explore the questions of: “Why do we make music?”, “What makes music rather than noise?” and “What makes music good?”
