Familiar music of varied styles as well as novel forays into “Wow-I-Never-Heard-That-Before Land” will be used for group exploration/discussion. The goal of the sessions is to provide opportunities for everyone to gain insight into how our thoughts and feelings are influenced by songs and sound. \nUsing quality recordings and supplemental live demonstrations\, students will be afforded many opportunities to increase insight\, awareness\, and sensitivity in the world of music. \n“Hey! I never noticed that!” and “Can we hear that again?!” will be phrases the teacher hopes to elicit because this is fun! \nNOT a music theory course. Non-musicians will be very comfortable with our activities. \nWe recommend signing up at least two weeks ahead of class to ensure class fills and to prevent cancellation. \n\nRegister by Dec. 28 to get a $5 Early Bird discount off the regular registration price of $35! \nInstructor: Rusty Wulff \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us. \nCourse Cancellations: Students are encouraged to register at least 2 weeks before the beginning of any Fe University course. A course with less than 4 students 2 weeks before the start date may be cancelled at instructor/FeU discretion\, with students’ registrations refunded.
