Music has enjoyed an unrivalled period of progression since the post-war Popular music invasion of the early 1950s. Rock 'n' Roll demanded a new kind of audience and record labels were quick to oblige: in came the mass produced 45rpm single and the birth of ‘the teenager’ kickstarting a cross-atlantic tidal wave of music and fashion mania.

This course will guide you through the essential chapters of music from post-war to the contemporary period. We will explore a selection of iconic songs that have had a profound impact alongside how consumption and accessibility to music has evolved over time. You’ll have the chance to explore both songs and a period of personal interest in class and the impact on cultural, political and social history.
Continuous informal assessment throughout the sessions, and where appropriate, through the use of Individual Learning Plans, as specified by RARPA.
There is no formal qualification for this course.
