Music Theory & Musicianship II

Building on Music Theory and Musicianship I, Music Theory and Musicianship II expands students' knowledge of and fluency with fundamental concepts for collegiate music study. Students continue discovering applicable musical concepts in the domains of pitch relationships, rhythm, timbre, and form, and building fluency with those concepts through skill-building activities. These activities include composition, improvisation, performance, transcription, sight-reading, aural identification, music analysis, music technology applications, and writing. This course also builds keyboard and vocal skills: concepts will be drilled at the piano, vocally (using moveable Do solfege), and on students' primary instruments, if different. Concepts and activities will be situated within current discourses in music studies. This course is required for BMA and BA students. Prerequisites: Musicianship I or permission of instructor based on placement exam results.
