Applied Music Theory: Performance and Analysis
This course explores music theory through the context of music students are learning in their instrumental lessons. Students bring their solo pieces to class and together the class analyzes and discusses their form, tonality (i.e., modulations), harmony, nonharmonic tones, and distinctive motives and intervals. With this knowledge, students will not only learn and memorize pieces more easily and permanently, but they will also develop tools with which to create their own authentic interpretations. Students will apply their understanding to interpretation, experiment in performance, and receive/offer feedback from/to classmates.
There is no prerequisite theory knowledge needed to enroll in this course.
