Learning outcomes

By the end of the laboratory the student: is able to use some of the concepts he/she came in contact with, by applying them to specific contexts and experiences; by select reading he/she has some knowledge of the discipline-specific vocabulary and is able to use it in his/her written assignment.

Course contents

The laboratory aims at increasing the students' awareness about the uses of music in contemporary society. A relevant part of the lessons will be devoted to the presentation of case studies by the students.

The students who do not attend the classes will be requested to draft a final paper that will address one of the topics dealt with in the assigned readings.
