Course Description


Through assigned readings and the viewing of numerous television commercials, we will address the topic of music as a persuasive agent in television advertising. I have chosen from a wide variety of sources to compile the readings for this course. Sources include articles from scholarly journals, excerpts from scholarly and popular books, and magazine articles about the rhetoric of persuasion, advertising in general, television advertising in particular, and most specifically, the role of music in television advertising. Part of the purpose of this course will be the honing of your critical thinking skills as you negotiate through the readings. “Consider the source” will be one of our tenets. Who is the author of what we are reading? What is his or her agenda? What are the author’s qualifications for making his or her claims? How does the author use evidence to support the points made? Some of what you read may infuriate or challenge you; other readings might illuminate or inspire you. If any of the readings or discussions we have prompt anyone to contemplate and explore this issue further after the course has ended, then I will truly feel that the course has been a success.
