Beyond Oom-Pah: German Music from Schubert to Hip-Hop *Online* *NEW*
Think German music is all about lederhosen and beer halls? Think again! This conversational German course takes you on a sonic journey through the rich diversity of German-speaking music - from classical Lieder to modern pop, hip-hop to rock. Through guided listening, student-led music sharing, and lively discussion (conducted primarily in German), you'll expand your vocabulary for talking about musical taste, genres, and culture while discovering artists you never knew existed. No musical background required - just curiosity and a willingness to listen with open ears! This class is recommended for students with a low intermediate level and above (CEFR A2 and above).
