Learning Comes Alive Here
Music Theory Courses
MUS 110 - Music Theory I
Music Theory I introduces students to fundamental elements of music: pitch, rhythm, and harmonic structure. Students develop the skills of musical notation as well as recognizing and writing intervals, scales, and chords. There is also some work with ear training (aural recognition and oral reproduction of melody and rhythm).
This course supports the student development of Written and Oral Communication, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Literacy.
MUS 160 - Music Theory II
MUS 160 is a continuation of MUS 110. Topics covered include diatonic triads and seventh chords in all positions in major and minor keys, voice leading and part writing, harmonic progressions, sequences, cadences, phrases, periods and sentences, and non-chord tones if time allows. Aural recognition of the above will be developed in tandem with written work.
Prerequisite: MUS 110 or permission of instructor.
