COURSE DESCRIPTION Music is an important part of the human experience. It is a universal language, a tangible means of communication for all
humans. Music, with its unique body of knowledge, skills, and ways of thinking, is worth knowing. It is a means of understanding

understanding is a highly desirable and important part of the human experience for every member of society.
It provides an outlet for creativity and self-expression. It engages our imaginations and allows us to explore our own
