Advanced Theory: Advanced Tonal Theory and Analysis

This course will focus on the analysis of tonal music, with a particular emphasis on chromatic harmony.  Our goal will be to quickly develop basic understanding and skill in this area, and then to refine them in the analysis of complete movements and works.  Our repertoire will range from Bach to Brahms, and we will try to incorporate music that class participants might be studying in their lessons or ensembles.  Successful completion of the required theory sequence or an equivalent background is a prerequisite for this class.
