In our courses you will
- Articulate your own thoughts about music.
- Expose yourself to unfamiliar repertoires, and question received ideas about familiar ones.
- Navigate the library to find things like reliable performing editions, a composer’s words about his own music, reviews of performances from centuries past.
- Learn to draw clear connections between different kinds of music, including both Western and non-Western traditions, and between music and other disciplines.
- Participate in ongoing conversations about music.
- Improve your writing and speaking skills. (Why pay someone else to write your program notes, when you can do it yourself?)
