I’ve been teaching music appreciation in some form since 2010. I look back on my lecture notes, lecture slides, and class materials from the beginning of the decade and see a scared graduate student, someone burdened by the immensity of music history, someone grounded in an extremely traditional educational experience (i.e., a near-exclusive focus on the musical, written, and philosophical work of white men, including a reliance on Schenkerian music theory).
I finally feel like I’m starting to figure it all out, though. |
