Course Description
Music theory is a course designed to provide a beginning understanding of the basic concepts of music. The course is divided into two principle parts: written theory and ear training. In written theory students develop an understanding of musical concepts, understanding musical notation and practicing using musical notation. Students also need to develop their understanding of music as they hear it, which is why the course contains exercises in ear training. This will enable students to recognize sounds by their distance apart and how sounds fit within a tonal center. They will also practice transferring sound in their head to paper using correct notation.
