What it covers
This unit is the second of a sequence of four units that integrates the development of aural skills with the theoretical understanding of music through listening, analysis, performance, notation and composition. It expands on the skills and knowledge developed in ATS1899 Music theory and ear training 1 through the study and practical application of fundamental theoretical concepts in either the Western art music or jazz tradition. Areas of study include identifying and understanding chords and their function, voice leading, idiomatic harmonic procedures, diatonic melodic materials and phrase structure.
