Learning Outcomes


The harmony component of this course is designed to enable students to:
  • Consolidate previous knowledge of harmonic vocabulary
  • Become familiar with an extended repertoire of diatonic and chromatic harmony
  • Observe and analyse known and new harmonic vocabulary in selected compositions
  • Observe and analyse the processes involved in unrelated modulation
  • Apply harmonic techniques demonstrated in class in a creative way through the writing of a composition in a specific musical style
  • Develop musical skills necessary for scholarly inquiry (score reading and writing skills, inner hearing, music theory, and repertoire knowledge)
  • Provide an in-depth engagement with the relevant disciplinary knowledge through practical, hands-on exercises and real-life emulating tasks and also by enlarging students' familiarity with various styles and compositions
  • Foster the capacity for analytical and creative problem-solving through music-listening and writing tasks
  • Develop students' ability to engage in independent and reflective learning, and improves students' skills of effective communication by requiring them to develop vocabulary appropriate for describing compositional processes, musical styles, textures, and qualities of and differences in performances.
