CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Understanding the language of music, both historical and contemporary, and use of electronic and acoustic instruments in the general music classroom.
COURSE DETAILS:
This course will be delivered asynchronously.
This course is designed for all students who are interested in the aesthetics of music. It is NOT a performance course. As such, it is intended for any student who has a general or specific interest in the arts. In no way is it required or necessary to be able to read musical notation. The course is based on readings and videos that conceptualize the history and philosophy of musical aesthetics and education. As well, students will have the opportunity to view and listen to music in various social, historical and world contexts.
COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:
Reading, listening and viewing activities should develop an awareness of the aesthetic complexity of sound and its implications for music and aesthetic education.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
TEACHING AT SFU IN SPRING 2021
Teaching at SFU in spring 2021 will be conducted primarily through remote methods. There will be in-person course components in a few exceptional cases where this is fundamental to the educational goals of the course. Such course components will be clearly identified at registration, as will course components that will be “live” (synchronous) vs. at your own pace (asynchronous). Enrollment acknowledges that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes. To ensure you can access all course materials, we recommend you have access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and the internet. In some cases your instructor may use Zoom or other means requiring a camera and microphone to invigilate exams. If proctoring software will be used, this will be confirmed in the first week of class.
Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need class or exam accommodations, including in the current context of remote learning, are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112).
