Instructor: Rolf J. Goebel

Primarily, music is meant to be enjoyed on a personal level. But listening to music philosophically enables a person to probe more deeply into very important questions that clarify this subjective response: What is music and what does music do? What is the meaning of music? How can music help us to live our lives more fully, deeply, and authentically? The course is addressed to a wide range of participants. No prior knowledge of the analysis of music or the ability to play an instrument is necessary.
