DescriptionThis course focuses on the broad fundamentals of western music, theory, and literacy (how to read western music notation). We will study concepts such as pitch, melody, timbre, and texture, and learn about rhythm, intervals, scales, chords, and harmony. We will also develop our musical understanding through composing music and through "deep listening" in classwork and concerts. Students are required to attend a once/week ear training class, either Monday or Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. No prior music training or literacy is required
