Two perspectives are developed: 1) diverse music of groups in America, and 2) American music as a unique phenomenon. Groups considered are African, Asian, European, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American. Lectures and musical examples are organized by topics such as music of socio-economic subgroups within large groups, survival of culture, pan-ethnicity, religious and concert music, and the folk-popular music continuum.

Time conflict enrollments are allowed for the lecture, as the Zoom lectures will be recorded and shared with the class. However, attendance is mandatory in the discussion sections.

All discussion sections will be held in person except sections 112 and 113.
