LC 321 - Learning Community: Joyful Noise: Music Technology and Contemporary CultureThree Credits
Spring Semester
The American Studies course considers the electric guitar as musical instrument, technology and cultural icon; the Music course introduces students to the fundamentals of music, including standard music notation, meter and key signature recognition, rhythm, keyboard harmony, and rudimentary composition. The theme musicianship - what it really means to be a musician - becomes a powerful lens to look beneath the surface of contemporary music and its media representations, in order to understand and experience it more deeply and immediately. The integrative seminar, which consists chiefly of experiential learning, provides students with a unique angle on musical performance, the arts and historical change in modern America.We plan to take strong experiential learning approach including: field trips to musical performances, music technology and production labs, creative projects, and instrument design workshops.
Corequisite(s): Students must also take and as part of this Learning Community.
