Music Criticism

Explores the role of critics in the development of individual careers and in more general tendencies in music and the arts. The approach is largely practical, with discussions of the 'real world' of music and journalism, analysis of published and unpublished reviews, examination of the criteria that go into critical thinking, and the writing of several reviews. Reading assignments provide historical and theoretical contexts.
