Music Appreciation
This curriculum invites students to analyze the music they enjoy, and to discover connections between their favorite artists and wider cultural and social forces.
Students may enter this course with little knowledge of modern music, but they will gain an understanding of the musical world around them. This course entices students to then contribute to their community by making music of their own!
Cost: $750/year
