Congratulations to Townsend READING SCHOLARSHIP WINNER Kathryn Johnson
Kathryn Johnson, a College Prep English student, is Riverland's first winner of a $100 Townsend Press Reading Scholarship.

Kathryn earned the scholarship by reading 10 books, including titles such as "Making the Most of Your Life," "The Story of Blima, a Holocaust Survivor," and "Letters My Mother Never Read: An Abandoned Child's Journey."

Kathryn, who pushed her instructor to start the Townsend Press scholarship program at Riverland, is an inspiration. Thanks to her, other college prep students will have an opportunity to read for scholarships.

CONGRATULATIONS, KATHRYN!!

Register for a Spring 2010 Music course!

"Need a Humanities class for Spring Term?

Take a music history class - no musical experience required!

 

Survey of Music

(MUSC 1111, 3 credits) - Weds, 11-11:50am

Haven't you always wanted to know what Beethovenýs music sounds like, or what's the big deal about Mozart? Take a tour through the history of European music, from medieval monks chanting to the opium-soaked musical fantasies of the "Romantic" 19th century, and all points in between. Along the way, you'll become familiar with the musical styles of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern music, and learn the historical background that influenced those sounds. (No previous musical experience required, so come join us!) Please contact Griffin Woodworth for more info: Griffin.Woodworth@riverland.edu

 

Popular Music in America

(MUSC 1113, 2 credits) ý Thurs, 6-7:50pm

From Tin-Pan Alley to the birth of Hip-Hop, popular music has been one of the most influential forces in American culture, binding generations together by expressing emotions that are both universal and also deeply personal. In this class, we'll hear and discuss American pop music from Vaudeville through the birth of Jazz and Rock 'n' Roll, and on into Punk and Hip-Hop (among many other styles). As we do, we'll explore how pop music has the power to communicate truths about both American society and personal identity, touching upon issues of race, gender and economic power. Are you ready to ROCK? (No previous musical experience required.) Please contact Griffin Woodworth for more info:

Griffin.Woodworth@riverland.edu



These course options are open to all Riverland students (regardless of major) and count towards Humanities/Fine Arts category requirements.
