MUSC 236 - Thinking Through Music I

2023-2024 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0


How do we ascribe meaning to music? To answer this question, students begin by reflecting critically on the music history survey. Students then consider other frameworks for thinking through and ascribing meaning to music. Students examine the relationship between music, gender, and sexuality, as well as the relationship between music, race, and ethnicity. They analyze key debates in the fields of musicology and ethnomusicology, and they consider how people from different parts of the world ascribe meaning to music. Students learn to connect music with its contexts and subtexts, developing essential skills for thinking, writing, and speaking critically about music.

Prerequisite(s): MUSC 217 , MUSC 226 , MUSC 227 , MUSC 231 , or MUSC 232  
Offered: Every Fall Semester
