Pre-requisite

None

Course description

How frequently do we think that a song captures exactly what we are feeling in a moment? Music acts as one of our primary means for understanding our feelings and experiences. Naturally, many fiction authors have turned to music as a guiding thematic force for their novels. In this course, we will explore the reasons that music has become one of our strongest epistemological methods, or ways of knowing ourselves, by reading literature that revolves heavily around music and studying the music that accompanies it, along with investigations into the personal soundtracks of our own lives. This is a writing intensive class that includes analytical essays based on class themes and essential questions, in class analytical essays and creative non-fiction. Grammar and composition are an important part of this English class.
