Course content
The course provides an introduction to basic music theory through exersises in techniques of tonal harmony, music technology and aural training. The Techniques of Tonal Harmony and Aural Training are taught via the four-part chorale tradition, based on the chorale harmonisations of J. S. Bach and other figures of his day, and following basic melodic, rhythmic and formal principles. There is a focus on a stylistic understanding, voice leading and insight into functional-harmonic correlations. The students are given exercises on a weekly basis in the harmonisation of simple melodic passages, and the analysis of the four-part chorale writing. These exercises constitute the full course portfolio.
The course in Basic Music Technology provides a brief introduction to the use of MIDI, sequencing, and digital notation as tools for arranging/composing and aural training.
