MUSC 251 Music Theory III
This course deepens students' understanding of diatonic harmonic practice with exposure to techniques for analysis and composition of popular and classical genres. We continue the study of musical form, exploring chromatic extensions of the diatonic practice. Students will engage in analytic and compositional projects. A diverse array of music will be studied chosen in collaboration with students and Music Department colleagues. Includes continued training in tonal sight singing, listening, and keyboard skills: introduction to chromaticism, related key modulations, modes, seventh chords; continued study of chord progressions and rhythmic studies.
