The readings and videos introduced themes and issues related to exploring music and dance as phenomena of culture. There are a great many more to consider: children's music and dance, music and dance for the elderly, music and dance among people with disabilities, or spirituals in African American history. Examine one of these areas (or another related topic) in detail, drawing on the music and dance terminology you have learned.

Using an Internet search engine, locate the nearest symphony orchestra, chorus (chorale) or opera company to your home or office, or one that you would like to visit in the future.
Share the URL (website location) and describe some of the works being performed this season. Are the works on the programs all by 18th and 19th century European male composers (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.) or did you find some diversity among the composers?
Check for special programs for families with children or special ticket prices for students. Does the organization have a public outreach program such as the award-winning "Voices Within," an artist residency program designed by the Los Angeles Master Chorale that teaches fifth grade students how to tap their creative voices to compose and perform their own original songs?
