  • With only ten weeks to explore the world of ‘classical music’, we will immerse ourselves in a multitude of listening experiences, to include concert attendance and live in-class performances. Building on this foundation, we will explore the impact of today's global society on this musical tradition: to what extent have new technologies, increased communication and the ensuing democratization of music impacted the ways in which we relate to ‘concert music’? Does this music still have relevance in our lives?
  • This Wikipedia group project will result in your own contribution to Wikipedia in the form of a biographical entry about a classical composer. Along the way, we will build skills in conducting research, citing sources, writing to Wikipedia article standards, and assessing the quality and appropriateness of different types of research tools for various academic tasks.
