Tutor: Bernie Hoesman
We hear music everywhere, but "hearing" and "active listening" are very different experiences. If you love attending concerts or simply want to use music as a relaxation tool, the true magic happens when you know more about how and why music is made. During this course, you'll be listening to snippets of a wide selection of the great music of yesteryear, as well as modern musical styles. The essential elements like rhythm, pitch, form, expression, texture, etc. will be explained in clear, precise, and entertaining ways, to add a whole new dimension to your appreciation of music.
