Course Description:
Music Appreciation is an one
semester course in which we will be discussing elements of music, various
periods of musical history (Medieval through the 20th century),

As music is an aural art, ear training and listening exercises will also
be incorporated. If interest and time
allows, trips to see live musical performances may be a possibility.
