Take me to the Fall Time Schedule
It is possible for LS&A students to elect a concentration program in music, and this program is described in the LS&A Bulletin. In addition, music courses are frequently elected by LS&A students not concentrating in Music. Courses in Music History/Musicology, Composition, and Music Theory are elected for LS&A credit. Some of these courses can be used in an area distribution plan. LS&A students may elect music PERFORMANCE courses for degree credit, but this credit counts toward the maximum twelve non-LS&A credit hours that can be applied toward an AB/BS degree or twenty non-LS&A credit hours that can be applied toward a BGS degree.
Courses in Music History/Musicology, Composition, Music Theory, and Performing
Arts Technology are listed in the Time Schedule under the School
of Music.
The following courses count as LS&A courses for LS&A degree credit.
137. Introduction to the Theory of Music.
While this course requires no previous formal training in music theory,
it is essential that students have a basic understanding of musical notation.
(3). (HU).
The course covers basics of music theory and musical notation: scales, keys,
intervals, triads, clefs, meter, rhythm, and some basic harmony. The course
objectives are development of fluency in reading and writing musical notation,
improvement of the musical ear, and the provision of a foundation for music
analysis skills. Ideally students should have some basic music reading ability,
but students without it can catch up with some extra effort. The course
is a prerequisite to Music Theory 238, Introduction to Music Analysis. There
are two lectures and one lab per week, devoted to aural skills development.
Student evaluation is by assignments and exams. (Hubbs)
