Description
Students learn the fundamentals of Western Classical music such as form, harmony, melody and rhythm. Through guided listening and take-home resources, the class aims to give students a deeper understanding of how music works and is an excellent resource for parents and caregivers who are supporting students studying music. Students engage in small composition activities that provide a motivating, interactive approach to applied music theory and will bring a fresh perspective to the music you listen to everyday.
