The department does not feel this should be the case. For students with a musical background, they will find comparisons with Western music's structural forms, melodies, rhythms, genres, etc., while non-musicians will find understanding and appreciation through associations with the varying peoples and cultures. This course allows the Department to address non-Western and popular music traditions more thoroughly than our present curriculum allows. It will enrich and diversify our non-major offerings. This one-semester approach was used for Music Appreciation this academic year, and was found to be better suited to the needs of our students.
