課程簡介
The course guides students to observe, experience, record and evaluate the music and sounds around them through various questions. Through some exercises, it aims to lead them towards a 'mindful' life with music and sounds. With a significant amount of activities, discussions and sharing, the course then delves into critical thinking and knowledge impartation and ultimately, the students develop their own perspectives and tastes in music.

Week 1-2 

你和音樂之間的關係？

在你的日常生活中，你聽什麼音樂？什麼時候？在哪裡？多長/多常聽？為什麼而聽？

你認為，音樂從哪裡來？它是如何開始的？

Where do you think music comes from? How has it begun?

Week 5-6

我們是否需要了解音樂的歷史或發展，以便知道我們現在的音樂環境（因為我們是歷史的一部分）？你有什麼看法？

演講：音樂的簡史

Lecture: A very brief history of music

Week 9-10

「聽覺記譜：聲音的描述」練習：今天，在你上學的路上，請仔細聆聽周圍的聲音和音樂，然後可以寫下、描述或畫出它們。接下來，根據你的喜好給它「評分」，並與班級分享（你也可以錄下聲音/音樂）。

Exercise: Today, on the way to school, please listen to the sounds and music which surround you, and write/describe about it. Then, you have to “grade” it according to your preferences, and share them to the class. (You can actually record the sounds/music if you’d like.)

還有，你以後會怎樣以不同的方式，欣賞以前就一直在聽的音樂？
