Music as Communication

Designed for the general student, this course will explore the way that music functions as a form of communication. While the specific content of the course will vary, depending on instructor, it will include an introduction to Western music notation, some exposure to music from non-Western cultures, and some component of original music composition. This course fulfills the Core Curriculum requirement in Arts. Students interested in the major should take MUSC 201 and MUSC 203 instead of this course.

St. Mary’s College of Maryland reserves the right to provide some or all of the course content through alternative methods of course delivery, including remote methods of delivery, and it reserves the right to change the method of delivery at any time before or during the academic term, in the event of a health or safety emergency or similar situation when it determines, in its sole discretion, that such change is necessary and in the best interests of the College and the campus community.
