The fundamentals of music theory will be introduced and incorporated into the students' compositions. Fundamentals will include: intervals, major and minor key signatures, times signatures for simple and compound meter, triads and their inversions, harmonic progressions for major and minor keys, nonchord tones and accompaniment styles. 400 400 Also included in this course is an introduction to PA systems. Students will study elements of sound systems and how they work. Elements covered in this section will include: Anatomy and sound production of a speaker and its enclosures, microphones, sound cables, amplifiers, mixing boards, multitrack recording and a brief history of recorded sound. 400 400 Quizzes and tests will be given through out the semester to assess understanding from the students. In addition, student compositions will also be a graded portion of this class. Since the class is divided into two very different sections, a final exam as well as a final project will be given at the conclusion of each section. 400 400 500 In this course, the student will develop the ability to: 500 500 1) Recite and apply key signatures for all major and minor keys 500 2) Aurally and visually identify all major, minor, perfect, augmented and diminished intervals 500 3) Spell all chords diatonic to any major or minor key in root position and in their proper inversions 500 4) Compose a 16-measure composition using correct elements of melody, rhythm, time signature, key signature, harmonic progressions and voice leading. More advanced classes may ultimately compose longer musical compositions. 500 5) Compose and clap rhythms in simple and compound meter 500 6) Identify and correctly use nonchord tones in their compositions 500 7) Use the FINALE musical software to compose musical composition assignments 500 8) Identify, label and explain the different elements of a sound system 500 9) Identify and explain the different methods of recording sound 500 500 600 In this course, students will: 600 600 *Practice the skills and elements of music theory via homework, compositions and drills on the computer using the Music Lessons I software. 600 *Become proficient with the FINALE musical notation software. 600 *Explore their own creativity through their own musical compositions that will incorporate the basic elements of music theory. 600 *Complete a final project at the conclusion of each of the main sections of the course. The theory element will conclude with a final composition and the sound systems section will conclude with a recording studio project. The composition will include all the elements learned throughout the semester to that point within specific guidelines. The Recording Studio Project will consist of the following: Each student is given "$10,000" in which to "buy" equipment to set up a recording studio. Using the knowledge they have gained over the semester, the student will decide what equipment will serve his/her needs the best to have a successful studio. 600 700 Students will be assessed via: 700 700 Written homework 700 Tests and quizzes given aurally as well as written 700 Quizzes taken using computer software 700 Musical compositions written within specific guidelines 700 Final projects for both the theory and sound system portions of the class 700 700 FINAL EXAM GRADE: Since the class is broken into two VERY different elements, it has been established that two seperate final exams should be given; one in theory and one for sound systems. The final exam grade will be calculated as such: 700 700 (Theory Exam Grade + Sound System Exam Grade)/2=Final Exam Grade 700 700 FINAL GRADE: The final grade for the course will be determined as such: 700 700 Q1=40% + Q2=40% + Final Exam Grade=20%=Final Grade 700 820 TEXTS MUSIC THEORY- 820 820 Tonal Harmony- with an introduction to Twentieth-Century Music 820 Stefan Kostka and Dorothy Payne 820 McGraw Hill Publishers 820 820 Tonal Harmony Workbook-Kostka/Payne 820 820 Harmony and Voice Leading-Text and Workbook 820 Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter 820 HBJ Publishers 820 820 Practical Theory-Workbook 820 Sandy Feldstein 820 Alfred Publishing Inc,. 820 820 TEXTS-SOUND AND RECORDING 820 820 Sound Check-The Basics of Sound and Sound Systems 820 Tony Moscal 820 Hal Leonard Publishers 820 820 Tech Terms 820 George Petersen and Steven Oppenheimer 820 Hal Leonard Publishers 820 820 Audio Made Easy (Or How to be a Sound Engineer Without Really Trying) 820 Ira White 820 Hal Leonard Publiushers 820 820 Synthesis-An Introduction to the History, Theory and Practice of Electronic Music 820 Herbert Deutsch 820 Alfred Publishing 820 820 Multi Track Recording for Musicians 820 Brent Hurtig 820 Alfred Publishing 820 820 Midi Sequencing for Musicians 820 Editors of Keyboard Magazine 820 GPI Publications 820 820 COMPUTER PROGRAMS 820 Finale Music Notation Software 820 Music Lessons I and II 820 820 VIDEOS 820 Basics Of Sound-Video Series 820 820 840 The pace of this class is very dependent upon the msucal 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 further into music theory or the elements of sound production and recording if you have a faster moving class. 840 840
