Everyone, whether they are a musician or not, has favourite songs, songs with which we identify, which speak personally to us and can place it right back in time to when we first heard them or offer comfort in times of stress. What is it about this worldwide phenomenon, which is there in every culture, every form of music across the ages and across the globe? Why do people sing? What makes song such a unique human and musical phenomenon? What can we learn through song about human history and about ourselves? This course will change students' whole perception of song, even songs which are their own personal favourites.
