Description

This course develops competence in rhythmic, melodic and simple harmonic procedures, fundamental music analysis techniques, sight-singing and sight-readings skills and simple harmonizations using keyboard or guitar.

This course builds on the musicianship and theory training begun in MUSA 100. Students will gain skills in writing for four-part choir, using the keyboard as a tool for harmony and analysis, hearing and analysing chord progressions, analysing music in different styles and genres, sight-singing, and notating music hear by ear. The course will be of interest to musicians from different genres of art and popular music.
