Intermediate Music Theory - MT102

Service Description

Music Theory 102 is a course designed for intermediate musicians who have studied music with a professional teacher for at least one year. Each student should posses a basic understanding of how to read notes on the treble and/or bass clef staves. Students should also have a basic understanding of rhythms to include note values for whole, half, and quarter notes. Suggested minimum age is 5th grade. This is NOT for beginning music students or those with limited experience/knowledge of music. Topics covered include, but not limited to the following: * major and minor keys with one sharp or flat * application of time signatures, bar lines, rests * the harmonic minor scale * chord symbols for tonic triads. Each student is required to purchase a workbook and/or textbook for the class. The cost of the workbook is $25. We will likely cover 2 or 3 workbooks during the course of this class. Each additional workbook will be approximately $25. The link for the level 2 book is here - https://a.co/d/0gCJMUf Students will also be using a free version of a professional music notation software called Sibelius First.
