Description

This asynchronous online course will examine the history and development of country music and its sub-genres in North America from the beginning of the 20th century through to present day. Throughout our chronological study of country music, we will look critically at and challenge assumptions about authenticity, race, gender, sexuality, tradition, political views, and popular culture as they relate to the genre in North America. No prior musical training is required, but students will be guided in directed listening to identify genre-related characteristics.

Note: This course is offered online.
