Theory & Musicianship I, an introduction to music theory for all instrumentalists & vocalists, will provide the fundamental skills related to music theory, analysis, and general musicianship. Designed for instrumental and vocal students, members of this course will use their primary instrument to help review basics of key, interval, and diatonic chord motions. Basic actions of harmony and voice leading will be discussed, providing students with insight into how a melodic line implies or demands certain chord movement. Discussion of melodic content, phrase, and motive will lead to an introduction of basic analytical techniques.
These tools will allow students to further understand their repertoire, and serve as a model for analyzing selections as a class. Students completing this course will improve their sense of musical awareness and facility, while developing tools to help them better understand the action of music through melody and harmony.
