Course Description:
In this course we will be exploring some of the most influential and revolutionary music artists, works, and ideas of the last 200 years, from Beethoven's symphonic insurgency in the 19th century, to the advent of Jazz, to the arrival of atonality in the early 20th century, to John Cage's antiestablishment in the 1950s and 60s, to the rise of Hip hop in the 1980s, to more recent styles and trends in music. Customized projects will allow students to focus on their musical skills and background but will also allow students with no prior musical knowledge or training to fully engage with the material, and even try their hand at creating new music.
