Music Theory & Analysis


The Music Theory and Analysis program helps musicians foster a deeper understanding of the musical literature through the study of its syntax, structure, and styles. Throughout these studies, students develop and refine their musical instincts, expand their knowledge of musical repertoire, and apply this knowledge creatively through model composition projects. The Music Theory & Analysis courses are for students who are interested in composition or earning academic credit. The program begins with the Elements of Music, which begins with the basic language of music theory and is open registration, no application required. It then progresses into the five-semester sequence of Music Theory and Analysis I-V. Advanced electives are also offered to expand students’ theoretical knowledge and analytical skills in specific time periods and genres.
