This course is the first class in a series of two in which students learn the fundamentals of music theory in order to improve their ability to read and write musical notation; and develop their ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a score. In this inroductory course, the instructor will address fundamental aural, sight-singing, and compositional skills using listening and written exercises. Building on this foundation, the course will progress to include more creative and analytical tasks.
