of this two-part program will begin the exploration of the classics of
European and American music in their historical, cultural, and social contexts
by studying the
fundamentals of music and its development up to approximately 1850.
Beginning with the elements of music and musical instruments and ensembles,
Medieval and Renaissance music will be studies. Part I is
designed to enable students, regardless of musical background, to increase their
understanding of music in an interactive, hands-on manner. The listening skills and knowledge acquired will
provide a foundation for being a more critical and discerning listener of music
of all types. Participants may interact with the instructor and each other
