Yup, this sounds more like it. Although we also covered topics like identifying common themes in music, how to listen to different soundscapes, and other similar topics. (Of which I cannot remember right now!)
We mostly covered classical music, but I ended up with an appreciation for a wide range of music styles. My Pandora channel list got really weird. :)
Maybe what you described is similar to what my wife once took as a course in Music Appreciation: I met my wife at Indiana University, was a grad student in math, lived in the dorm next to the excellent music school there, liked music a lot, and took that opportunity to get started in violin.
My wife knew a lot about music -- piano, clarinet, voice -- but next to nothing about classical music; so with my being interested in music also, she took a course in the music school in music appreciation. She really liked the course.

Okay, thanks.
