    Description
    This is the first in a series of four courses intended primarily for music majors. The course will include a review of music fundamentals; an introduction to triads and seventh chords; figured bass and lead-sheet symbols; principles of voice leading; harmonic progression; nonchord tones and basic elements of musical form. All analytical concepts will be developed and applied through ear training, sight-singing, dictation and rhythmic performance.
