Sample Course Syllabus for MUSC 1XX, World Music (Fully Online) Catalog Course Description: Designed for the non-music major, a study of the world s music. Basic musical concepts are used to explore diverse musical styles and their functions in cultures throughout the world. This course assumes no prior formal musical training. General Education Rationale: World Music meets the Arts requirement for Knowledge of the Disciplines because students in this course learn the basic elements of music, such as rhythm, pitch, melody, harmony, texture, and form. These elements are brought to life and made accessible via a combination of musical examples and illustrations, which in turn give them the tools needed to enhance their critical perception of the world s music. World Music meets the Global Awareness requirement for Perspectives on a Diverse World because it takes a musicultural approach, consisting of an exploration of numerous musical traditions and the cultures from which they originated and where they continue to exist today. This approach allows students to engage with the complex realities of how music traditions move fluidly across conventional boundaries of history, geography, and identity. Course Goals and Objectives: The successful class participant will learn how the elements of music are applied to music of diverse cultures, and how the music is interwoven with the societies of those cultures. In addition, students will experience music as a global phenomenon of human expression, which will both increase their understanding of what music is and how it works, and their appreciation and enjoyment of music overall.
