Music Theory II

Catalog description

An introduction to the fundamentals of harmonic progressions controlled through either expansion of a tonic-dominant phrase structure, elaborations of two-part counterpoint structures, or control of the three basic root motion models. Music will be analyzed using chord matrixes and reductions into two-part frameworks. The class strengthens the basic musicianship skills through performance students' compositions illustrating the class concepts. Must be taken concurrently with MUSC 245 .
