Welcome to Diablo Valley College World Music(Fall 2020), with your sonic-co-explorer,
Dr. Mark Alburger!
Syllabus is at
http://markalburgermusichistory.blogspot.com/2020/08/world-music.html
We're all online, of course, so the two class meetings a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) are playlists on YouTube. Each playlist is 6 c. 15-minute original linked videos... roughly one-and-a-half hours per presentation...
The first Lecture Playlist, for today, August 25, is below the next picture...
Each day will feature a new Playlist, accessed from this current blog-website
markalburger2020.blogspot.com
dated as above.
The titles of the daily blog entries are rather arbitrary / capricious...
Your class participation will be write personal responses to each Playlist (c. 300-500 words) -- handwritten or typed -- as you listen, and send off by 6pm Fridays (in this case, August 28) to mus21stc@gmail.com or my school email (both go to the same inbox) as attached pdfs or jpgs...
Blank pdf copies of Quizzes (Worksheets, really) will be group emailed to you every Thursday, with info for same posted on this website just below the corresponding daily Lecture Playlist, and same method of transmission / due date as above. While top of each Quiz should be hand-written (re Music Notation and Basic Information), the bottom (Identification and Descriptions of Featured Composers and Pieces) may be typed... And you can always create your own versions of the Quizzes, rather than using the emailed copies...
Looking forward to our continuing time together over the next 16 weeks!
Mark
