Orchestra of Life: Expanding Awareness Through Music

The Orchestra of Life: Enhancing Awareness Through Music is an immersive exploration of the masterpieces of the symphony orchestra. Not your usual music appreciation class, this course leads students through activities designed to enhance their awareness of what they hear and how they experience music. Each class session will focus on one major and minor orchestral work. Students will discover how to develop their own music library and how to create playlists. This journey will help students create a connection to music that can release stress, restore balance within the body, enhance creativity, and promote productivity. Class activities will include lectures, visualizations, discussions and journaling. Students will be “conducted” as they sit in the places of orchestral musicians.
