MUS 204 - Popular Music in America*AEH

Credits: 3

This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the various musical styles, i.e., blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, folk, gospel, etc., which laid the foundation for American contemporary popular music. As a major social force during the last forty years, contemporary popular music has helped to define our “image” to ourselves and the “image” we portray to the rest of the world. Central to the focus of the course will be the exploration of the myth that our popular music is “simplistic, repetitive, and trite.”
