Elements of tonal music are explored through listening, writing, improvisation, and analytical work. The course investigates the structure and usage of triads, seventh chords, and basic cadence types. An introduction to general voice-leading principles will be covered through figured-bass exercises and harmonization of tunes. Formal structures such as motive, phrase, period, and sentence will be introduced. A keyboard-harmony component will be covered in separate weekly meetings. Placement test may be required.
