    Description
    This course introduces skills for listening to music within both Western and non-Western musical traditions. Students study vocal and instrumental traditions, as well as musical components such as tempo, dynamics, texture, orchestration, form, and style characteristics. Students also consider historical, cultural, socio-economic, religious, and/or political contexts and issues that bear upon the music. Attendance at live concerts may be required. Credit would be given to MUS 21 or 21H, not both.
