Courses in Music Appreciation and Music in America offer non-music majors a view of the place of music in the world. As students become skilled in the art of listening to music, they begin to understand why the music of today sounds as it does. These courses include the music of various cultures, eras, styles, and media, as well as the creative process itself.

Music can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.
Leonard Bernstein
