This online course teaches the basic elements of music appreciation and music history. Its integrated approach allows students with no previous musical experience to explore the history of music through reading, listening, writing assignments, concert attendance, and research. Topics covered in the 14-lesson course include the appreciation process, musical styles and taste, music history, sound, musical instruments, listening techniques, elements of music, and roles of composers, performers, and listeners. Stylistic periods in music span from the early beginnings of music into the twenty-first century. Students navigate the course with the help of a student guide that serves as a textbook and workbook. This student guide comes with three high-quality Sony Music CDs, which include a rich selection of excerpts and pieces that are referenced in the lectures, reading assignments, and quizzes. Timed listening notes guide students in the art of listening and can be accessed online, where they interact with the CD and follow the progress of the piece, even showing some of the musical themes as they occur. The listening notes are also offered in the student guide in the same order as they appear on the CD, making the course a continuing source of enrichment for years to come.
