This course builds a practical beginner foundation in music theory and aural skills: reading staff notation in treble and bass clefs, mapping notes to the keyboard, and interpreting basic rhythmic values, meters, ties, and dots. It develops pitch fluency through accidentals, enharmonics, intervals, and the whole-step/half-step framework. It introduces major and minor scales, key signatures, and circle-of-fifths essentials, then applies these to triads, inversions, and diatonic harmony with basic Roman-numeral functions. Learners practice cadences, simple melodic/harmonic writing, introductory form analysis, and core ear-training for pulse, interval, chord quality, and tonal center recognition.
