  • Theory 103: Basic Musicianship and Songwriting

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate University

    M. Volker This course teaches students about the basic musical materials of music theory. This involves learning to read, notate, compose, and study music. The course focuses primarily on Western art music ("classical music") and, to a lesser extent, jazz. Since these two broad musical categories represent the roots of many other, more specific styles, the lessons from the course can be applied to a wide variety of music. In addition to written and aural exercises and exams, students compose several short musical works. No ability to read music or experience with music theory is assumed of those enrolling.
