Introduction to Music Theory

The Introduction to Music Theory summer course covers the basic rudiments of Western Music, starting from the very beginning and through the essentials of stave notation, which is the source code of Western Music. Students can also expect to learn conventions, terminology, major and minor scales, all the way up to modulations and chord progressions. By building this foundational understanding of music theory and stave notation, students can take control of their musical life and open the door to centuries of great music. In addition to helping students as performers, it gives them the power to develop and grow as composers. No prior experience required.
