MUS 205 — Music Theory III
This course will continue the study of advanced harmonic techniques including modulation, altered chords, chromatic harmony, counterpoint and introduction to contemporary harmonic principles. Students will learn to write, hear, play, and analyze music of all periods and styles. This course will concentrate on the development of written skills (four-part writing and analysis), aural skills (melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic dictation), singing skills (solfeggio and sight-singing), and keyboard skills (scales, chords, chord progressions). Special emphasis will be placed on the techniques used by 20th century composers. Must be taken in sequence. Offered in fall semester only.
