Through listening-based analysis, students will unpack popular songs to gain an understanding of topics like instrumentation, structure, harmony, rhythm, melody, production, and style. Tools such as Western staff and rhythmic notation will be introduced as means to support listening-based/aural analysis, however all assessments will be based on listening rather than writing.
