Music engages our emotions, imagination, intelligence, bodies and communities, and in its various forms is common to all societies. Varied online learning experiences designed around focused lectures, expert interviews and collaborative readings examine what it is for individuals and societies to be ‘musical’, and the ways music forms an invaluable aspect of our daily lives.
Covering a range of topics, students will explore the role and purpose of music for individuals and communities, and the ways people engage with music to regulate their mood and emotions in ways that reinforce their overall wellbeing.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- identify what it means for individuals and societies to be musical;
- interpret the extent to which music engages our emotions, imagination, intelligence, bodies and communities;
- examine the personal and environmental factors that affect musical development, ability and identity;
- critically appraise the mental, affective, and behavioural processes that drive individuals and societies to engage with music;
- apply knowledge of the integral role music plays in society and culture, including important social and recreational occasions.
