MUS106

This course focuses on the life and music of the Beatles within the social and cultural context of the 1960s. Students will learn to apply the perspective of the Beatles to address questions about how formative influences, stylistic cross-influences with contemporary artists, the transition from live performing band to studio recording artists, and social and cultural conditions shaped their music and success within popular culture. Students will put this perspective into practice via active listening, observation, personal reflection, and critical analysis of music within its historical and cultural contexts.
