Third in the four-semester Music Theory sequence required of music majors, Music Theory III builds on the concepts of analysis and writing studied in MUSC-111A, Music Theory II, and MUSC-111P, Ear Training and Musicianship II. Students will develop knowledge and understanding of advanced tonal analysis, altered non-harmonic tones and secondary dominants, augmented and Neapolitan sixth chords, foreign modulations, and extended chords. An introduction to eighteenth century counterpoint and classical forms will also be included. The practice of sight singing, rhythm reading, and melodic dictation will be continued through MUSC-210P, Ear Training and Musicianship III.
