「音樂與文化可持續性」副修課程

minor

(In English only)

Cultural sustainability emphasizes on a forward-looking perspective on heritage. Beyond enhancing music literacy and encouraging aesthetics appreciation of diverse art genres and styles, we work to re-explore links between arts and the natural and cultural environment, to open up new dialogues with practitioners, and to bring preservation in action with intergenerational cultural transmission practices. We also aim to stress that everyone can be musical regardless of abilities and experiences. The notion of well-being in arts includes therapeutic function of music in socio-psychological aspects. Through nurturing students’ creative thinking, we introduce communicative musicality with intercultural expressions across art forms that build towards a sustainable community for collective well-being.
