MUSI 1530 Study Guide - Swing Music, Strophic Form
Document Summary
Your written test will happen in week 5 (feb. 11) and your quiz in week 6 (feb. 16): read chapters 2-6. If you have having trouble filtering information, i recommend the following: Review any material that was not addressed in lectures. Read bluegrass section, listen to bill monroe. Using the lecture notes as a guide, fill them out with additional information from the textbook. You are not expected to know musician/composer biographies or dates, but know the genres they played in, their contributions to popular music, and the venues, cities, or record labels they are associated with. The test may address musical terms, but not how they apply to any of the specific listening examples from the cd. Be sure to know song titles and what genre or artist they are affiliated with. Pay attention to general musical trends, genre development, technological inventions and changes, and broader social changes that affected popular music.
