教育目標

This course will acquaint students, in an enjoyable and casual environment, with the elements that make up all music. It will focus on the traditional, standardized “periods” of music, covering, in historical sequence, the periods called “Medieval/Renaissance”, “Baroque”, “Classical”, “Romantic”, and “Contemporary”. Major composers of each period will be introduced, along with many examples of their best music. The goal of this course is to introduce Classical Music so as to create a desire and framework for the student to continue their exploration of this most wonderful art form. Students will become familiar with the most common English vocabulary used when discussing music. Students will obtain a basic knowledge of the most famous composers from the “Periods of Music” mentioned above, and will become familiar with some of their best compositions. Through much listening in the classroom, it is hoped that the student, at the end of the semester, will be able to hear a piece of music and know from what period in time it was written. Students will learn about the elements of music; Sound, Pitch, Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, Tone Color, Dynamics, Tempo, and Form. Students will learn about the historical developments of instruments, the development of the orchestra and choir, and be exposed to basic musical terms so that they may have a way to discuss classical music with others. They will be exposed to many different types of music within each “Period of Music”; orchestral, choral, opera, ballet, and solo voices and instruments. Students will learn about musical notation and the history of its development.
