MUS. 100 Fundamentals of Music

Explore the cultural basis and historical context of diverse musical styles. Reflect on music notation as a problem solving approach in musical expression using historically significant examples. Learn the basics of music notation in the historical context of the expressive needs that drove the evolution of this system. Go from sound to symbol and symbol to sound by reading pitch and rhythm notation, sight-singing and ear training. Use music theory (scales and chords) to harmonize simple melodies.
