Notes

【Course Objectives】

The goal of this course is to learn how to critically listen to traditional music as both a musical art form as well as a reflection of Japanese history, society, and popular trends to answer one overarching question: What is a "Japanese" sound? Students will learn how to voice their observations through in-class discussions and presentations. After examining and debating the historical and modern roles for each major traditional instrument and genre, the class will experience performing each major music covered within the course. This hands on approach to learning will help students deepen their understanding of traditional music, as well as form more compelling criticisms on the music heard daily through media, advertisements and for entertainment.

【Course Contents】

Japanese traditional music is often thought to be a relic of the past that should be appreciated but never changed. However, traditional music has always been connected with the ever changing societal structures of Japan, its roles and music evolving to stay relevant. This course will give a basic overview of major traditional genres and instruments still currently performed today in Japan and their historical and modern significance. This course will also include interactive components including workshops by guest performers and in-class/online performances. Students will also undertake research projects to personally answer the question "what is a Japanese sound"? that will result in class/online video presentations during the final weeks of class.
