Theory Website
Familiarize yourself with musictheory.net. It contains many different review lessons and exercises that will greatly help you understand and reinforce the concepts that we will be talking about in class. If you have a smart phone, there are also two apps associated with this web site. They are "Theory" and "Tenuto". The apps do cost a few dollars, but they are not required for this course.
Textbook
The text book that we are using is called "Theory and Analysis Second Edition by Jane Piper Clendinning and Elizabeth West Marvin". A hard Copy will be provided in class, but electronic versions of this book are available if you choose to purchase them.
Theory is a "Bring Your Own Device" friendly course. We do have computers and iPads for the students to use, but if they would prefer to bring their own, I would highly encourage them to do so. My plan is to accomplish as much as I can using digital texts, hand outs, and worksheets.
