FYS 1256 - Music in Multicultural America

Credits: 4
Does music play an important role in your life? When in a stressful situation, is music a calming factor for you? Do you use it to help prepare for an athletic event? In this class, we will explore music through its many elements and how several marginalized groups, including African Americans, Native Americans and Latin Americans use it in their cultural heritage. Increased listening perception, the ability to describe the music and its function in each culture is the course goal.
