Music Theory II

This course completes the study of diatonic harmonic practices in the Common Practice Period and introduces simple musical forms. Topics include the principles of voice leading used in three- and four-part triadic harmony and diatonic seventh chords, as well as non-chord tones, cadences, phrases, and periods. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate competence in using diatonic harmony through analysis, writing, sight singing, dictation, and keyboard skills.
