Introductory Sessions > First Meeting

We begin the course with introductions, as outlined in the overview of this introductory module. For this and all modules, please make sure to look over the module as a whole to get a sense of what we are doing.

For many meetings, we will get the conversation started with online discussions. Please post to these in advance of class, ideally by the end of the day before class.

For this first meeting there are two online discussions.

We will introduce ourselves to each other more fully than we have time for in class by posting self-introductions as replies to the discussion Introducing Ourselves.

We will begin exploring our respective points of reference in a second discussion, What is East Asian music?

I will also give a brief overview of course, how it is structured, and the kind of work you will be doing. Please review the syllabus for more details.
