Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0119 - Musical Beginnings

This course focuses on the broad fundamentals of western music and music theory, including music literacy (how to read western music notation). We will look at theoretical concepts (pitch, rhythm, timbral nuances, texture, intervals, chords, harmony, etc.) and develop our sense of music cognition through ear training and solfege singing. This course will connect music to theory by teaching students the basics of music composition. No prior music training or literacy is required. Students are required to attend one ear training class every week, either Mondays and Tuesdays evening from 7:00 - 8:30 pm. Keywords:music

Art and Politics Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
