MUH801A

This course will introduce students to a study of popular music from the 1950s to the 1970s. Students’ learning will center around the following: an examination of music in our lives, including its roles, genres, social context, and ways that it is experienced; distinguishing between listening and hearing (active and passive listening); and developing an understanding of terms and concepts associated with the elements of music that enable students to consider and discuss what they listen to, using the language of music.

This course is also a music credit.
