How can we better listen to and enjoy classical music? Learning the fundamental elements of music enables us to listen more intelligently, hear the sound more clearly, enrich our experience, and increase our overall enjoyment. Understanding music on intellectual, emotional and sensuous levels contributes to a more complete experience. In this course, we will learn the basic elements that construct a musical piece such as; melody, harmony, orchestration and rhythm, in order to gain a more effective set of listening tools and guidelines. We will listen to a large variety of musical examples from the main classical periods (e.g., Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 21st century), and take a closer look at music by leading composers such as Bach, Haydn, Brahms, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky. By the end of the course, you will come away with a more nuanced and complete understanding of classical music. (Beginners & intermediate).
