Description: This course covers the rudiments and terminology of music, including hearing and notating: pitches, intervals, scales and keys, chords, meter, and rhythm.  Addresses these basic concepts through listening to a wide variety of music, including not only music from standard Western tonal repertoire but also twentieth-century art music, jazz, popular music and the music of non-Western cultures.

She received her associate's degree in Aircraft Maintenance, her bachelor's degree in Missionary Aviation, and her master's degree in Bible Translation from Bob Jones University.
