Elementary Theory and Practice II
MUSC 104 SP

Following on from Music 103, Music 104 will continue to instruct students in the basic vocabulary of music-theoretic discourse. Topics such as notation, meter, phrase structure, chord function, analysis of form, and the technical foundations of musical aesthetics will be covered. Students will acquire the basic compositional techniques of tonal harmony and counterpoint. Aural skills (elementary ear training through sight singing, rhythm reading, aural identification, dictation, and related activities) and keyboard skills (the performance of scales, intervals, and triads) will be developed in weekly ear-training sections.
