Week 1 wrap-up
Congratulations! You have now reached the end of week 1. We hope that you have enjoyed the course so far, and we are really looking forward to continue this moving musical journey together with you in the next five weeks.
This week we started out the theory track by looking at how various musical genres have developed different movement-types over the years. It may for example have been new to you that Mozart actually wanted his audience to move and clap during performance?
In the terminology track we discussed the differences between music-related and musical movements, and also the (sometimes) confusing fact that there are two words in English that describe what we are studying: motion and movement.
In the first part of the methods track you learned about the differences between descriptive and functional analysis, and qualitative and quantitative methods.
