Course Overview

This is a course in music theory designed to reinforce foundational music theory concepts and introduce higher-level musical language and grammar insights and skills. Over the course of seven instructional modules and three large creative projects, students are taught music literacy, elements of rhythm, pitch collections, intervals, basic and advanced chord structures, diatonic applications of harmony, basic chord progressions, chord analysis, voice leading procedures, cadential structures, non-chord tones, and secondary chord functions. This course is useful for any student of music who desires to grow as an insightful musical consumer, performer, or composer. It also serves as a prerequisite to college-level music theory training.
