MUS 206 — Music Theory IV
This course will continue the study of advanced harmonic techniques including modulation, altered chords, chromatic harmony, counterpoint and introduction to contemporary harmonic principals. 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 spring semester only. Students are strongly encouraged to continue to enroll in subsequent levels of class piano.
