Music appreciation for any music that you listen to, anytime, anywhere. No music background required.
Music is a big part of our daily lives. We hear it on radio, TV, shopping malls, or dedicated playlists that we have curated for different purposes. However, have you ever listened to the music and wondered what is going on? Music is made up of many layers and most of the time, it serves to convey an idea or evoke certain responses in listeners.
In this interactive course, you will first understand the 8 elements of music that exist in most, if not all music around the world. You will learn about characteristics within each element that can easily be identified just by actively listening. We will be going on a little adventure with a very familiar tune and explore how the tune changes just by varying the musical elements.
After that, we will take a broader perspective and discuss musical representations (e.g., emotions, landscapes, cultures). We will also discuss how the 8 musical elements were varied in order to achieve these intended purposes.
