Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0265 - Tonal Theory II

This class will continue the work done in Tonal Theory I. We will be studying part writing and voice leading, as well as continuing the process of understanding and using basic chromatic harmony. Within this study, we will begin to look at large scale forms and structures. Some composition assignments will be included along the way as we assimilate new theoretical knowledge. Topics and repertoire for study are drawn from European classical traditions as well as jazz, popular, and non-western musics.

Independent Work Prerequisite: Tonal Theory I or 5 College equivalent. Students are expected to spend 6 hours weekly in preparation and work outside of class time.
