This course is designed to be the equivalent of a first-year music theory college course. The course develops students' understanding of musical structure and compositional procedures. Usually intended for students possessing performance-level skills, this course extends and builds on the students' knowledge of intervals, scales, chords, metric/rhythmic patterns, and their interaction in composition. Musical notation, analysis, composition, and aural skills are important components of the course.
