MUSIC THEORY I (INTRODUCTION)

This course explores the basic building blocks of music including note reading, rhythm, notation, scales, chords, clefs, and key signatures. This course is designed for students who do not currently read music fluently, e.g. students with no music experience, guitar players who play by ear or use tablature, those who play piano by ear, singers who struggle to read written music, etc. It will introduce students to how music is composed and why certain chords sound the way they do. This course is highly recommended for students who already compose music and want to formalize this skill.
