Offered Fall Quarter

Reserve a seat in the
FIG cluster of your choice

Do we experience different forms of art in the same way? When listening to a piece of music, what does a musician hear? Is it different than how a writer hears it? When reading a text, what does a professional writer notice? Students in this FIG explore these and other related questions via popular music.
