GRMUS T603 — Graduate Theory Review

3 credits
Fall
Faculty

This review course is designed for entering graduate music students. The integrated format combines aural, visual, tactile, and written activities with analysis; keyboard; exercises in figured bass and melody harmonization; and short compositions that incorporate various harmonic idioms; singing; and transcription. The course comprises a reorientation that reveals how theory, composition, listening, and analysis can inform performance and provides a foundation for more-advanced theory courses. The first half of the course focuses on diatonicism and the second addresses chromaticism.
