Course Description
Designed to develop an understanding of musical principles and techniques for listening
to music. If you have a musical background (played in band, sang in choir, played piano,
etc.) you will find some aspects of the course to be familiar, especially at first. However,
if you do not have a musical background do not despair. It is not necessary to have ever
played music, read musical notation, or be able to “carry a tune in a bucket” to be
successful in MUL 2010. But you do need open ears and an open mind.
Course Objectives
? Students will learn the basic terminology and nomenclature to discuss Western
Art Music
? Students will develop critical listening skills applicable to all types of music
? Students will become familiar with some of the most important Western Art
Music compositions of the last 400 years

cultural context.

Course Requirements
? The music we will explore in MUL 2010 is often called “Classical” music but is
perhaps more accurately called Western Art Music. Western Art Music is based
on the traditions and concepts of music developed in Europe beginning around the
year 1000 AD. This is the music you would most likely hear if you went to a
symphony orchestra concert, an opera, a chamber music recital, voice recital, etc.
? We will explore a wide variety of music within the Western Art Music tradition.
It is neither necessary nor expected that you will like all the music you hear in the
course. It is necessary and expected that you will listen to unfamiliar music with
an open mind (and ear!) and make an honest attempt to understand it. It is also
necessary and expected that, if after making an effort to understand a given
composition or style you conclude you just don’t like it, that you be able to
articulate objectively what it is about the music you do not like.
? MUL 2010 is organized on a module basis. Although each module is presented
and assessed independently the knowledge and skills tend to accumulate
throughout the course. “The Elements of Music” module is particularly critical to
your understanding subsequent material.
Mised Asignments/Make-Ups/Extra Credit
Make-up Exams Policy
? Make-up examinations will be administered strictly according to university policy
governing authorized events and activities. All other make-up examinations are at
the sole discretion of the instructor and will be given only rarely and only in
extraordinary circumstances.
? Consult the course calendar carefully to ensure that you do not have irreconcilable
conflicts with course deadlines. For the purpose of this course please note that
weddings, vacations, family reunions, etc., do not constitute “extraordinary
circumstances.” If you discover that these or similar events will prevent you from
completing all assessments on time then you should drop the course.
Extra Credit Policy
The extra credit policy is that no extra credit is given. Be diligent with your readings,
listening, and other activities. Spend at least some time and effort with the course several
times a week. Don’t fall behind; set a schedule and stick to it. If you do these things then
you should do well in the course and will have no need for extra credit.
Grades of “Incomplete”
The current university policy concerning incomplete grades will be followed in this
course. Incomplete grades are given only in situations where a student has successfully
completed most of the course requirements and unexpected emergencies (illness,
accident, family emergency) prevent a student from completing final course requirements
by the end of the semester. Your instructor is the final authority on whether you qualify
for an incomplete. Incomplete work must be finished by the deadline indicated on the
Incomplete Form or the “I” will automatically be recorded as an “F” on your transcript.
End of Term Pleas and Apeals
All students will be awarded the grade you earn. Please do not embarrass me or yourself
with end-of-term appeals for a higher grade based upon non-course criteria. Asking for a
higher grade because of factors extraneous to your performance in the course is unethical,
unfair to other students, and will not receive a sympathetic audience from the instructor.
Evaluation and Grading
Reviewing Grades
You can review your current exam grades at any time using the “My Grades” feature in
WebCourses.
Examination Content
All examinations will be completed on-line and timed. If disability access or other factors
beyond your control require a different testing mode please contact the instructor before
the exam is posted. Exam questions will be multiple choice or True/False. The following

? Define musical terms, genres, composers, etc.
? Describe or identify elements of music based upon recorded examples
? Identify significant dates
? Identify important cultural or social contexts affecting music
? Describe common musical style characteristics for various style periods, and
composers
? Recognize a recorded example according to genre, style period, or composer
