MUSA 2100 Harmony

Harmony will cover the principles of diatonic harmonic progression, four-part writing from a figured bass, and harmonization of chorale melodies. Students will increase their musical vocabulary to include modes and seventh chords, and continue to develop skills in analysis, keyboard harmony, and ear-training. It is recommended that music majors sign up for MUSA1090 Ear Training/Sight-Singing Lab. Training in Keyboard Skills is required in the accompanying Lab.
