MUS 203 - Creative Music Facilitation

(3 credits)

Creative music making helps people to be creatively expressive while helping to lessen stress, boost mood and create social connections. In this course, you will discover how to create improvised, rhythmic music and lead others in doing the same.

To do this, students (1) learn to play a wide variety of percussive instruments, (2) discover a tried and tested philosophy of inclusive, improvised music-making, (3) practice effective leadership, public speaking and group facilitation methods, (4) develop their own programs, and (5) host public, student led, group music making events.
