ABOUT

Instructed by Jamuna Samuel with members of the Daedalus Quartet, participation in the course Music 236 “Performance, Analysis, History” (MUSC 236) is contingent upon a successful audition. Students must successfully audition to be in the course; previous private study in an instrument is required. Basic fluency in rudiments of music theory is also required. This weekly seminar explores music from the past and present through class discussions of performance, historical context, and analytical aspects of the music led by a professor and/or performer. Students then prepare for a final performance at the end of the semester as well as a paper/presentation.
