Description :

Hearing music is something we all do, but catching the details, feeling the layers, and connecting more deeply with the music requires active listening. This fun and interactive course will show you how to get more out of every listening experience.
 
Through guided activities and lively discussions, you’ll discover practical strategies to become a more engaged and perceptive listener. Musical examples will span numerous genres, with a special focus on classical and jazz—styles that can sometimes feel intimidating but become much more rewarding once you know how to approach them.
 
By the end of the course, you’ll have new tools to enrich your enjoyment of music, deepen your appreciation, and open yourself to fresh and memorable listening experiences.
