4 Credit(s)

Students are introduced to the universal elements of music (such as rhythm, melody, harmony) and Western notation of music. They demonstrate basic music literacy skills through creative work such as small compositions, singing, playing instruments, and through listening activities and exams. They study some history of music and learn about a variety of forms, functions, styles, instruments, composers, and performers from many cultures, including traditional and contemporary music of Montana Native Americans. Students examine global issues such as censorship, the commercialization of music, and the education and training of musicians.
