Course Prefix/Number/Title:

MUSC 207 – History of Rock & Roll Music

Course Description:

This course presents a survey of rock music from 1900 to the present. The class provides a segmented

review of variations in the form and the sociological impact of music.

Course Objectives:

First, this class focuses on the history and progression of Rock and Roll music. To understand these

underpinnings is absolutely crucial. Secondly, music influences people as much as people influence

music. The student will also examine the societal implications of this genre of music and how it can take

on a life of its own, sometimes not in the manner the author intended. Finally, we will attempt to view

the subject through the lens of the campus theme, “Nature, Technology and Beyond”.
