How do they aid in modulation? 300 300 How do all these elements of music come together in one composition? 300 300 300 300 300 400 This course expands on the techniques and theories of Music Theory introduced in Music Technology I. The curriculum will be student project oriented and will give the student a broadened understanding of music theory and composotion. New elements of musical composition are introduced and built upon through out the semester. Students will also be developing aural skills including interval identification-ascending and descending, melodic dictation, rhythmic notation and basic piano skills. 400 400 All musical compositions will be input in the computer via musical notation software. Currently, the WAMD uses the Finale Musical Notation Software. 400 400 Some tests and quizzes will be given through out the semester to asses understanding from the students. However, the main purpose of this class is to allow the students to demonstrate their understanding of music theory through musical composition. The final exam in this class consists of a final composition project. Since all classes move at different speeds dependent upon their level of understanding, the final project may have to be modified to fit the parameters of the current class. At this time, the final project is designed to contain the following: 400 400 *48 Measure composition written in ABA' format 400 *Phrase structure should be symetrical (cadence every 4 measures or every 8 measures) 400 *B section should modulate to a closely related key 400 *A' section should be in the home key arrived at via correct rules of modulation- NO SUDDEN MODULATIONS. Themes should be embellished upon enough to call this section A'. 400 *NonChord Tones should be used 400 *Proper use of 6/4 chords should be incorporated 400 *All accompaniment styles should be incorporated 400 *Secondary dominants, Neapolitan Chords, Augmented Sixth Chords and Seventh Chords should all be incorporated 400 *Project will be input into the computer VIA the Finale Software Program 400 *Final drafts are to be printed out and labled using correct terminology for keys, cadences, NCT's, Chords and inversions, Form, secondary dominants, pivot chords 400 *Student should write a one-two page analysis of his own composition intelligently explaining what is contained within his composition. Attention should be paid to how the A' section differs from the A section. 500 The student will develop the ability to: 500 500 1) Correctly apply the elements of music theory learned in both music tech I and music tech II via original musical compositions. 500 500 2) Identify and spell all types of 7th chords in root position and all their inversions. 500 500 3) Use the Finale musical composition software to transcribe musical composition assignements. 500 500 4) Modulate in an original musical composition and identify modulations in written musical examples. 500 500 5) Compose musical examples using secondary dominants and identify secondary dominants found in written musical examples. 500 500 6) Identify various types of musical forms such as but not limited to rounded binary and rondo form. 500 500 7) Compose a large scale musical compositions using correct elements of melody, rhythm, compound and simple meters, harmonic progression and voice leading, modulation, secondary dominants and musical form. 500 500 8) Write in an intelligent manner about their musical compositions using correct musical terminology. 600 Each student will: 600 600 *Become proficient with the FINALE Musical Notation software. 600 600 *Explore their own musical creativity through many musical compositions that will incorporate many aspects of advanced music theory. 600 600 *Learn how to speak and write intelligently about musical compositions. 600 600 *Practice the skills and elements of music theory via homework and composition assignments. 600 600 *Complete a final large scale composition project that will serve as the final exam for this course. The composition will incorporate all of the musical elements learned through out the semester 700 The students will be assessed via: 700 700 Musical Compositions written within specific guidelines 700 700 Tests and quizzes given as a means to gage understanding of a new theoretical element introduced. 700 700 Written papers analyzing their musical compositions and cmpositions of their classmates. 700 700 Final Exam Project 700 800 Dependant upon the ability level of the class, a unit on arranging can be introduced to the course. 820 Tonal Harmony- 820 Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne: 820 *McGraw Hill Publishing- TEXT BOOK 820 820 Tonal Harmony- 820 Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne: 820 *McGraw Hill Publishing-Work Book 820 820 Music Lessons I- Computer Program ( for Tech I Review) 820 820 Music Lessons II-Computer Program 820 820 Finale Music Notation Software 840 The pace of this class is very dependent upon the musical knowledge and talents of the class. A class that contains many musicians will be able to move at a much faster pace then those of nonmusicians. It is possible that the students will be able to continue farther into more advanced elements of music theory such as but not limited to Neopolitan Chords, Tall Chords and arranging.
