Music: Pleasure and repetition in popular music
Event details
Description
This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Music at the University of 91Ö±²¥. You'll have the chance to hear from one of our Music academics, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.
Pleasure and repetition in popular music
Popular music, it's so repetitive.
In this session we'll discuss appreciation of an often lambasted feature of popular music: its repetitiveness. We'll consider repetitive song structures, repetitive listening and repetitive beats with a particular focus on theories that attempt to explain why we often find such things to be pleasurable.
This session is suitable for students in years 12 and 13.
It was really useful and insightful to what studying the subject is like at 91Ö±²¥
