 Music always reflects the current culture and what will become history.  This study of the great composers in Western Civilization will follow the development of Western music from the 17^th to the 20^thcentury through reading short chapter biographies of prominent composers and listening to their music.  The class will focus on listening and discussion.  Students will create a notebook style timeline as they learn how composers influenced and were influenced by historical events.  Students will be required to attend at least one major musical event each semester.  EIE will offer several field trips, which may be used to satisfy this requirement and will announce other free or inexpensive events in our area.

Required text:  The Gift of Music  by Jane Stuart Smith and Betty Carlson  ISBN 9780891078692  (Available at EIE Bookstore)

Note:  Since it is impossible to teach Western Classical Music without Christian content, charter funds are not accepted for this class.
