Introduction to Music Composition and Theory FPA 145 (3)
This course introduces basic concepts of music composition such as melody and pitch organization, harmony, rhythm and form. The fundamental principles of theory and acoustics (e.g. voice-leading, overtone structure, metre) will be studied with particular reference to composition. Students will compose short works within given guidelines that address specific compositional issues. Prerequisite: FPA 104: Music Fundamentals Students who have completed a music theory/notation course at another institution but who have not received transfer credit as FPA 104 should seek a clearance/prerequisite waiver from the department.
