Music 1010-Su17 Reflection
HOLY COW this course was intense!!!
When I was signing up for my summer classes, I was told that this class was a lot of work. As I was a little taken back I wondered why. I had a love for music and decided that I would still enroll in this class. It was so intense. Now, this is not a bad thing. I was able to learn music in a whole new light, it was refreshing and humbling. Some people may think that they know everything about music because they have a wide range of musical interests. I fell into that category. I thought that I knew music. Boy, was I wrong.
The Form of Music
A lot of our chapters focused on the technical form of music. How these components come together to create a world of sound. Composers used the basics of form and from there evolved chants, to instrumentals and everything in between.
Composers
We are all aware of who Beethoven and Mozart was, but learning about other very influential to other types of music. These composers have built music to what it is today. Children today may never know what real music is or how it started but I'm glad this course dives deep into the form, and style of music.
Probably towards the middle of the semester, I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in this course because it is a lot of work. I'm glad I stayed in the course because I ended up learning a lot. It's not always easy in the beginning but a little hard work and focus, can bring you rewarding experiences.
