Open to all UNH students.    This on-line course is totally asynchronous, meaning that there is no specific time students are required to be on-line.  Each week's assignments are posted at the beginning of the week; students can complete the readings, view the assigned videos/slides, post on discussion boards, and work on other assignments anytime during the week that is convenient for them.   The two exams are on-line and open book.    Contact the instructor with any questions/concerns at Audrey.Ashton-Savage@unh.edu

MUSI 405 introduces students to two musical traditions of the United States—jazz and classical or concert music—in order to explore how music signifies as an interpretable art form and functions as a historical artifact, within a social practice, as an expression of individual subjectivity, and as an expression of cultural identity. It also attempts to draw connections between American music and the country’s history and cultural life.
