The origin of American Roots music goes back to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Folk music from this era became the anthem for many social movements in the US. From Joan Baez to John Denver and Buddy Holly in the US, and from Zachary Richard to Ian and Sylvia and the Rankins in Canada, this music defined an era. Songs from this heritage will be discussed ... and then sung. Lyrics will be made available and the entire group will be encouraged to join in.
YCMS 185 Music Masterpieces of Brahms and Mahler
Automne 2019
Jeudi
This study group will highlight the major compositions of Johannes Brahms, composer and pianist, and Gustav Mahler, composer and conductor. Brahms and Mahler are considered to be the musical giants of the Romantic Era, each with his own unique sound. Brahms was a Classicist in the second half of the 19th century, and Mahler bridged the Late Romantic Period with early 20th century Modernism. Brahms was also a prolific composer of piano works, and Mahler was renowned for his epic song cycles. Join me in listening to this treasure trove of musical excellence and diversity.

We will examine these atmospheric factors from both a scientific and a historical point of view. All participants are expected to make a presentation of 20 to 30 minutes and take part in discussion. A list of suggested topics will be available in advance from the moderators.
YCMS 190 Finding and Evaluating Information on the Internet
Automne 2019
Lundi
We all use the Internet to get news and advice, to find answers to questions, to buy stuff and more. However, the results of our online searches are not always of the best quality. There鈥檚 more information out there than what we see, and what we get is often not accurate, objective or trustworthy. This study group is intended for the less digitally savvy, and will cover the basics of Internet searching and how to critically evaluate the results. The moderator will present the many varieties of online truth, such as biased and fake news, fraudulent product reviews and hyped or pseudo medical studies.
YCMS 191 Impacting Social Issues: Making Change Happen
Automne 2019
Lundi
Working together, we will compile a list of topical social issues that we would like to see resolved. Participants will present a topic of their choice and look at possible solutions (tried or not). The first session will be the loss of jobs due to technology and possible solutions. Other topics could include body image as a major source of depression, and information overload. Feel free to be creative, the list is vast.
YCMS 193 Making a Presentation
Automne 2019
Vendredi
So, you have to make a presentation, or perhaps, you would like to participate more fully and confidently in your MCLL study group. This workshop will lead you through the basic steps of understanding a communication model, organizing your material and delivering it with ease. 鈥淟earn by Doing鈥 is the method we will use; therefore, some homework will be required so that we can pack a lot of activity into a 5-week session. Class Maximum 12.
YCMS 194 So You Want to Travel the World
Automne 2019
Lundi
The Workshop leader invites you to meet every two weeks with a group of travellers or would-be travellers to share their experiences, plans and apprehensions concerning global travel. Topics will include group versus independent travel, how and when to book airfare, comparing similar tours, safety considerations and handling of various foreign currencies. We will also cover car rentals, travel insurance, booking accommodations, solo travel, packing tips and suggestions for getting the most bang for your travel buck.
