This course deepens students’ understanding of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and formal structures through the lens of global musical traditions. Building on foundational theory, students will explore diatonic seventh chords, tonicizations, and sequences while developing fluency in identifying and applying these concepts in short musical excerpts. Students will cultivate a nuanced grasp of musical forms including the sentence and period. Through analysis and composition, learners will expand their harmonic vocabulary and creative expression. The course encourages students to connect theoretical knowledge to music encountered beyond the classroom, fostering a broader appreciation of musical diversity and structure.
