MUS 1000:
Introduction to the Study of Music, Culture, and Society

This course introduces students to the key objectives of and methods for examination of music as a social and cultural practice, considering the function of music and sound in ritual, in performance, in the global marketplace, in politics and protest, and in everyday life while highlighting some of the world's great performers and musical traditions. Beginning with an introduction to the formal elements of music, students then listen to varied global folkloric, popular, and classical styles, honing their critical listening skills through description and analysis of varied musical works.

Finally, students consider how understanding and analysis of historical and cultural context as well as processes of cultural flows can afford insight into music's deeper meaning and significance. Treating music as a lens into history, politics, race, ethnicity, gender, and identity, this course will afford students with a flexible interpretive framework for encountering all music. Final projects will center on a musical artist, genre, practice, or scene of the student's choice.
