MUSC 100. How To Talk About Music
When we talk about a piece of music we are usually talking about several things at once: the sounds we are hearing, whether we like them, their meaning, and their aesthetic value. This course will enable you to describe what you hear in plain English, explain why you like (or dislike) some kinds of music, expand the ways you think it, and help you find and appreciate new music, too.
