In General Music 6, students will explore and learn about the evolution of music in the western hemisphere, beginning around the year 450 AD and continuing up to the present day. Students will discuss cultural implications and historical events and the impact they played in the composition of music at that same time. All music will be separated into six different time periods. In each of those time periods students will learn about the composers and popular forms of that specific period and will listen to and observe performances of music from each stage of the music evolution.
