Writing About Music
Course Description
Anyone who attempts to use words to describe the experience of listening to music soon finds this to be a challenging task. Yet writers throughout the ages have faced this challenge and developed a variety of ways to write about music. This course provides the opportunity for students to hone their skills as music critics, by listening to and writing short essays about recorded and live performances of many different kinds of music. Each student will also write a substantial research paper on a musical topic of interest to them, and give an oral presentation on the same subject.
