While this course focuses mostly on print media, the skills you develop here are amazingly broad. Consider this the class where you figure out scales and chords before you go on to play jazz. In keeping with the goals of the College, students will demonstrate sound scholarship in this course through their ability to read and think analytically and critically, and to communicate clearly and effectively.
