DESCRIPTION

In this four-part series, Dr. Brenda Leonard explores musical instruments that fall outside the standard concert hall, from early and experimental designs to instruments from global traditions. The course examines how different cultures and historical periods approached sound, tuning, and ensemble, and why some instruments became central while others remained less familiar. Drawing on examples from medieval and Baroque curiosities to electronic and non-Western instruments, this series invites you to discover sounds and instruments you may not have encountered before.
