Course Description
Music 1 is a one-unit course in which students attend 1-3 world-class symphony orchestra concerts per quarter, produced by Santa Barbara's Community Arts Music Association (CAMA). As part of its Youth Audience Development Program, CAMA generously gives UCSB free tickets for students enrolled in Music 1. The College of Letters and Science generously charters buses for transportation to the concerts and back to campus.

The tickets UCSB receives from the CAMA are a donation, made possible by contributions from donors whose gifts make up for ticket revenue CAMA would otherwise earn from the sale of tickets they give us. CAMA sponsors the program in order to make tickets available to students who sincerely want to learn about and experience orchestral music. Please do not enroll in Music 1 and enjoy the benefit of CAMA's generosity unless you are sincere about participating fully in the course.

Students may enroll in Music 1 for one or more quarters. To participate, they need not enroll for all three quarters.

Each concert is preceded by a 45-minute lecture given by Music Department faculty. Lectures are held either in Room 1145 of the Music Building or in designated UCEN rooms. See the section "Pre-Concert Lectures" below for the location of each pre-concert lecture. Concerts take place at the Granada Theatre in downtown Santa Barbara.

Requirements and Policies

• Attendance
  Attendance at all introductory lectures and concerts is mandatory. If on reviewing the schedule (see below) you find that you cannot attend one of the lecture-concert events, do not register for the course. If you have already registered, please withdraw and register for Music 1 in a future quarter when you can attend all events. Failure to attend a lecture-concert event will result in a grade of NP (No Pass) for the course.

  You must arrive for the pre-concert lecture at the scheduled time, which is 6:30 p.m. The entire lecture is 45 minutes in length. Coming at 6:45 or 7 p.m. is too late. If you find that your schedule will not allow you to attend the full 45-minute lecture (6:30-7:15), please drop the course and enroll in another quarter when your schedule allows you to arrive at each pre-concert lecture at 6:30 p.m.

  You must remain at the concert for its entirety, not just for the first work played or only up until intermission. If you find that you cannot remain for entire duration of each concert, please drop the course and enroll in another quarter when your schedule allows you to remain for the entire concert.

  There are no exceptions to the attendance requirements.

• Bus transportation
  Bus transportation to the Granada Theatre and back is provided free of charge. You will board buses immediately following the pre-concert lecture for the trip downtown, and immediately after the concert for the trip back to campus. You may drive on your own, but you must attend the lecture in order to receive a ticket.
• Tickets
  Tickets are provided only for students whose names appear on the instructor's enrollment sheet for Music 1. Please do not bring friends to the lecture with the expectation of receiving an extra ticket. There are no extra tickets. Please do not ask. At the end of the pre-concert lecture, tickets will be distributed according to the enrollment sheet. After receiving a ticket, you will leave the UCen to board the buses.
• Papers
  For each concert, you must submit a 2-3 page paper (double-spaced) to the Music Department Chair at the Music Office. The paper is due within one week of the concert. See below for information on the paper. Failure to turn in a paper will result in a grade of NP (No Pass) for the course.

  There are no exceptions to the paper requirement.

• Grading
  Music 1 is offered on a PASS/NO PASS (P/NP) basis. Failure to attend a lecture-concert event or to submit a paper for an event will result in a grade of NP (No Pass) for the course.

Papers
Students must submit a 2-3 page paper (double-spaced) within one week of the concert. Please staple your concert ticket to the paper. Address papers to Prof. Paul Berkowitz, and turn them in to the receptionist at the front desk in the Music Office (Music Building, building 531, next to the UCen). Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and 1:00-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. If you cannot drop off your paper during those hours, please put it into an envelope addressed to me, and drop it through the mail slot in the Music Office door. Please do not send me your paper as an email attachment. Papers sent as email attachments will not fulfill the paper requirement.

The paper should follow up on points made in the lecture about the music, the composers, and the composers' lives and times. Often, music is influenced by or connected with political events of the day, by music of other composers, or other artists (painters, poets, authors). The lecture may touch on such aspects of the music. Papers may discuss your impressions of the music as you listened, but should not lapse into a running commentary on how the music made you feel as you listened.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not attempt to paraphrase the CAMA program notes as a way of writing your paper, or use the information in the program notes as the main source for writing your paper. The result will be a grade of "NP." The paper should be written based on information and hints for listening to and understanding the music given in the pre-concert lecture, and on your listening experience in light of the lecture.

Pre-Concert Lectures
Attendance is mandatory. All lectures begin at 6:30 p.m. Be on time.
Tickets will be distributed at the end of the lecture only to those enrolled in Music 1.
