Despite their breakup almost 50 years ago, The Beatles remain unquestionably relevant to today’s musicians. While this stems in part from their role in pop culture, it was their transformative music that secured this lasting influence. In this course, we will study The Beatles’ albums chronologically, focusing on the structure and ingenuity of the music itself. Through listening, reading, and live demonstration, we will learn how their songwriting evolved from such early hits as “Love Me Do” or “Can’t Buy Me Love,” to more complex works of art, including “Come Together,” “Here Comes the Sun,” and many others. By the end of the course, participants will have a clear vision of how the music of The Beatles played a truly transformative role in the history of rock and beyond.
