This course
is designed to promote a
greater awareness and understanding of the power and variety of musical
experiences for those who have a general interest in music and for those who
intend to continue their formal study of music further. Candidates are
exposed to a broad spectrum of music, ranging from classical and modern
Western traditions to that of other regions and cultures. The creative and
practical aspects of music are evenly balanced with the theoretical or
academic. All students study music theory, undertake general and detailed
studies of Western music from different time periods and of world music from
each continent. Students also participate in the creation of music through
compositions or performance. Music SL students choose either composition or
performance. Group performance is a requirement in the junior year at
NAHS. Music theory is the requirement of the senior year |
This course is designed for those
students who would like to explore music from a listening and theory
standpoint. Students will learn basic music theory from Western
Civilization. Students will also listen to and learn about the history of
music from the Western Civilization as well as other cultures. No prior
musical background is required for this class.
