For Inland 360

For people who love music and want to learn more, Lewis-Clark State College is opening up a free course, Survey of Music 101.

Sarah Graham, assistant professor of music at LCSC, selected lectures to offer to the community.

“We thought it would be a great way to bring the community in. It is an organic way to get people intrigued,” she said.

The curriculum isn’t from a textbook but designed by Graham. A few of the class topics include: The Power of Music to Save Lives, Music of Revolution and The American Protest of the ’60s.

“I love teaching nontraditional classes. I wanted to keep them as relevant as possible to what people are listening to now and get them engaged as well.”

The classes will take place at the Lewis-Clark Center for Arts & History, 415 Main St., Lewiston.

People can pre-register for the classes at the door or online at http:www.lcsc.edu/ce/non-credit-courses. Classes will take place 10:30-11:45 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays on the following dates:
