Description
This class introduces students to music theory by helping them to understand how sound frequencies form, interact and influence what we call music. Students will learn to read and notate both pitch and rhythm, to recognize intervals, triads, as well as chord progressions, explore simple musical forms and to learn to work with scales and key signatures to create and develop melody. In this way, students will build on what they have learned in the Fundamentals of Music at the Keyboard coarse (DM101) to become better musical communicators and musicians. In addition, students will be able to hone their listening skills by learning to recognize important audio elements essential to both music production and audio engineering.
