Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

The course is an exploration of important aspects of Western music by topic, theme and idea. Subjects to be addressed include higher-level elements such as melody, harmony, counterpoint, style, texture and instrumentation; musical aesthetics; repertoire and how to listen; and some social and political aspects of music. All these topics will be treated with reference to specific pieces of music, as a collection of set works.

Incorporated into the course through tutorials is an introduction to basic music theory, for those who need it. Starting from the beginning, theoretical materials will be covered progressively up to the equivalent of NZMEB Grade 3 by the end of the course.
