VPM 240 - Music Theory

Three Credits
Spring Semester

Designed to teach and develop basic musical skills and to increase the student’s understanding of the fundamental building blocks of music and how they function in musical language. The first skills studied will be fluency in reading music and use of the piano keyboard. Other topics will include basic terminology, musical notation, intervals, major and minor scales, triads and seventh chords. Some exercises in ear training and rhythm are included. The student’s skill and imagination in manipulating these skills will be developed by composing brief musical compositions at the end of the semester. An interactive computer program is a main component of the course.
