In this seminar we will consider various kinds of writing -- from daily journalism and popular criticism to academic monographs and scholarly essays -- that concern the broad history of western music. Via regular writing assignments and group discussions of substance and style, students will have opportunities to improve the mechanics, tone, and range of their written prose. Prerequisite: any 300-level course in music, or permission of the instructor.
Instructor Permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
