This class looks at a variety of culture groups from around the world, studying music pieces within the context of the groups' beliefs, uses, and purposes for that music as well as its historical, religious, or political context. Music terminology will be introduced to describe what is heard including addressing the basic music elements (rhythm, harmony, timbre, melody, and texture) and several new instruments that will be investigated throughout the course.
