1) The
Psychology of Music
Created
for music majors, students of music therapy and
music
lovers generally, this course will survey the acoustical
and psychological processes of music as they relate
to society, culture, learning, emotion, behavior and
preference. In its exploration of human music potential
and musicality, the course will examine the basic acoustic
properties of music, offer an introduction to the
ear
and auditory brain, explore perceptual and physiological
responses to music and assess the relationship between
music and behavior. The course will use The Abbey's
musical performance programs and the summer music
festival
in the village of Pontlevoy as case studies. Kristen
Cole, Assistant Professor Music and Director of
Music
Therapy at The Mississippi University for Women, will
teach this course.
2) Soundscapes
of Music Literature
This course
will survey music through periods, composers and genres.
Designed to function as a Music Literature course for
music majors, the course will serve Fine Arts majors
and other interested students as a general appreciation
offering. In cooperation with the Pontelvoy Summer Music
Festival, the course's students and faculty will offer
Tuesday night recitals. Dr. Ruth Morrow, Bolin Chair
of Piano at Midwestern State University, will teach
this course
3) The
Jean-Baptiste Arban International Trumpet Institute
The institute
will be a two-week yearly event honoring different legends
