This course equips graduate students of all disciplines to teach music history effectively to a variety of audiences. The course content ranges from the practical to the theoretical; students not only practice teaching, observe others teach, survey textbooks, and design their own syllabi, but also grapple with differing philosophies and methods of teaching. The course culminates with a symposium-style presentation of a creative pedagogical idea.

This course is open to Music Graduate students in any concentration. Undergraduate Music Majors can enroll with instructor's permission only.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
