THYU 093 - Fundamentals of Music Theory

Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

Focuses on the rudiments of music (scales, intervals and chords). The course consists of four tracks. The first track continues through the entire semester, and helps students develop their understanding of fundamentals through notation, ear training, and keyboard harmony. A second track contains the same material as the first track, but at an accelerated pace; it lasts for seven weeks. A third track, also lasting seven weeks, focuses primarily on ear training and keyboard skills. Finally, a fourth track (also seven weeks) focuses primarily on keyboard skills. Students who are enrolled for the entire semester will earn two credits; students enrolled in the seven-week tracks will earn one credit. For all tracks, proficiency is evaluated at the end of the course through a departmental exam; the student must pass this exam before continuing on to Tonal Practice I or Solfège II.
