Description
This is an introduction to A234 Understanding music, a module that introduces you in step-by-step fashion to those concepts in music notation and theory you need to be able to understand a wide ran...ge of music: from Western classical music by composers such as Mozart, Handel, or Beethoven to pop music by Carly Rae Jepsen, Robyn, and Duran Duran; from Hollywood film scores by John Williams to widely-known everyday songs and folk tunes. In the session we talk about the range of music the module covers, the way in which the module is studied (including its use of music notation software and equipment) and the way in which the EMA allows you to choose from a number of options, so you can play to your strengths and concentrate on understanding music that means most to you.
