In Love with Music? Journey in the world of Music

This course offers a musical analytical journey around some parts of the world. As we travel sonically from one place to another, we will try to culturally, politically, and spiritually contextualize the music, beats and instruments. We will do a lot of in-class music analysis and train our ears and senses to imagine narratives of colonization, identity, nationalism, philosophy, religion and nature-human relations. We will use multimedia resources to prompt discussions that could help us sonically map and contextualize music.

Towards the end of the course flow, we will look at movement. The music of people on the move - roads and waves- as well as the movement of the body as it syncs with music. As we conclude, we will try to understand the philosophy of improvisation in musical arts.

The flow of this course is designed for people who do music or are interested in music; where there will be a lot of practical in-class music analysis, films, podcasts and possible music jam sessions! Melody and discussions that will inspire us and add to our music literacy.
