Hold on to your hats! Get ready for another madcap caper through a wide range of musical topics. We will tackle everything from music and the mob to military music around the world. We’ll explore the music of nature and the works of Holst in The Planets. Fun Mondays are back, and you won’t want to miss out on the fascinating topic of synesthesia. Other topics: early music, jazz, sacred music. By the end of the course, you will have an increased awareness of the vast variety of music that is just waiting to be experienced. This course is designed for both the hardcore music lover and the music novice. It is for anyone who wants to learn more about music!
