What it covers

This unit is the third 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 further expands on the skills and knowledge developed in ATS1900 Music theory and ear training 2 through the study and practical application of theoretical concepts in either the Western art music or jazz tradition. You will study intermediate analytical and compositional procedures of tonal music through critical listening, study and analysis of representative works. You will undertake analysis, harmony and aural exercises to consolidate the understanding of functional harmony and the idiomatic application of musical materials.
