  • MUSC 100: I Got Rhythm: The Science of Musical Time

    An introduction to the empirical study of musical rhythm. In this class you will, among other things, test your "natural pace," invent a new form of rhythmic notation, read some Greek philosophy, recreate some classic experiments in time perception, study the nuances of musical performance, and explore the neurobiological underpinnings of "groove." Class readings will be drawn from philosophy, psychology, music theory, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and mathematics. Musical examples discussed will range from Gregorian chant to Stevie Wonder. Course assignments will involve group projects and various short writing assignments.

  • MUSC 115: Listening to the Movies

    We all watch movies, whether it’s in a theater, on television, a computer, or a smartphone. But we rarely listen to movies. This class is an introduction to film music and sound. The course begins with a module on how film music generally works within a narrative. With this foundation, the course then concentrates on the role film music and sound play in shaping our understanding of the film’ stories. Over the course of the term, students will study a variety of films and learn about theories of film music and sound. Class assignments include a terminology quiz, cue chart, and a short comparative essay. The course will culminate in a final project that may take the form of a term paper or creative project.

  • MUSC 213: J-Pop: Listening to Music in Modern Japan

    Japanese popular music encompasses a wide variety of genres, from World War II propaganda tunes to anime soundtracks. But how does this music relate to the history of modern Japan? What is “modern” (or post-modern) about this specific music? This class will examine the creation and consumption of Japanese popular music from around 1945 to present, focusing on how popular music worked in the cultural and political milieu. Through the study of Japanese folk, jazz, rock, hip-hop, bubble gum pop, and film music, students will engage with broader historical trajectories in society. We will discuss music as it relates to issues of race, gender, and pop culture in Japan and around the world. 6 credits; IS, International Studies, No Exploration, WR2 Writing Requirement 2; offered Winter 2026 · Brooke Okazaki

  • MUSC 215: Western Music and its Social Ecosystems, 1830-Present

    How does music shape society? What does it feel like to participate in musical life—as a creator, performer, listener, leader, fan, or critic? These questions will guide us as we study the history of Western music with an emphasis on social experience. We’ll explore music from the Romantic era to our contemporary moment, with our ears and eyes trained toward the repertoire’s civic and interpersonal meanings. Along the way, you’ll respond to current concert programming and curate playlists that speak to your communities on campus and beyond. Front of mind will be expansive themes of belonging and identity.  6 credits; LA, Literary/Artistic Analysis, WR2 Writing Requirement 2; offered Winter 2026 · Brooke Okazaki

  • MUSC 239: The Philosophy of Music

    What is Music, and what exactly is a “musical composition,” especially in the age of recorded music and sampling? Can music tell a story, express an emotion, or convey a proposition? And if music can do any of these things, how does it do it? Last but not least, how are we to judge the value of musical pieces and musical practices? Do we need to judge popular music differently from so-called “art” music?  To address these questions we will listen to a wide range of musical examples, from Bach and Mozart to the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, and we will read a wide range of writings about music, from Plato, Rousseau, and Kant to current philosophers, including Scruton, Kivy, Davies, Carroll, and Gracyk. Prerequisites:

    Student has completed any of the following course(s): One MUSC 100, 200 or 300 Level Course not including Lesson or Ensemble courses OR one PHIL 100, 200, 300 Level Course not including Independent Studies with a grade of C- or better.

  • MUSC 242: Tango: More Than a Dance

    This course explores the Argentine tango as a lens into over 100 years of global and cultural change. Tango is much more than a dance; It represents important moments related to migration, sexuality, nationalism, tourism, appropriation, and of course, music. We will trace its history from working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to its adoption by Parisians in the early 20th century, to the worldwide phenomenon that we know it as today. You’ll have the opportunity to play tango charts in class and engage with tango communities in Minnesota. A working knowledge of western music notation is helpful, though not required.
