MUS 102 - World Music

Course Description: Music is fundamental to all people of the earth, perhaps an even more ancient and basic means of expression and communication than language. Through music people reveal their beliefs and relationships to nature and the supernatural, as well as their feelings about themselves as individuals and their relationships within their society. In World Music students will become explorers on a journey through world music cultures including indigenous and contemporary music from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Celtic and Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Students will develop skills in active and involved listening and establish foundations for connecting to and participating in the global society of today’s world.
