Description:

- The student learns the basic concepts of music theory- melody, rhythm, harmony-through an integrated approach.

Melody and interval content include pentatonic, major, and minor scales. Simple rhythms in simple and compound meter are studied. Harmonic content includes primary chords and cadences in functional style. The student reinforces and demonstrates her understanding of musical elements and procedures through practical application of the keyboard.
