Eastman Colloquium

1.0 credits

Eastman Colloquium explores the sounds, meanings, and uses of music within a wide variety of contexts. Students consider ways in which imagining and experiencing music deepens their understandings of and connections to themselves as musicians, as well as to others in their communities, and to the larger social, political, and spiritual worlds we inhabit. The practical aspects of music and musical institutions are emphasized, along with philosophical, pedagogical, historical, and social underpinnings of music practiced in the broadest sense . The course will require attendance to several Eastman, University, and community events of the student’s choice and reflection essays with varying topics on these events.
