MUSC 151 Music Theory II

This course introduces students to classical theories of musical form and analysis, including simple counterpoint and diatonic harmonic practice with a focus on traditional four-part harmony in choral and keyboard styles. Students will engage in analytic and compositional projects guided by their musical interests. The music studied will be chosen in collaboration with students and Music Department colleagues with an eye towards diversity and inclusion. Includes both a lecture, and a musicianship lab section which focuses on tonal sight singing, listening, and keyboard skills.
