Musical Circles is a music class involving an introduction to stylistic periods of music ranging from the 20th century to the contemporary era. We will work to center musical traditions around the world. Expect plenty of room for flexibility and exploration based on the identity and interests of participating students. This class will engage musical/lyric analysis and artistic reflection, the aim is to be creative and to contextualize our lived experience within music, soundscape, and collaboration. Hopefully we can engage in plenty of discussions about musical experiences, do some recording and computer music, and figure out what each student has to share with the class. TL;DR Some music history, recording, computer music, collaborative circles, (performing) arts.
