What it covers
This unit is the fourth and final 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 consolidates the skills and knowledge developed in ATS2901 Music theory and ear training 3 through the study and practical application of theoretical concepts in either the Western art music or jazz tradition. Further study of advanced analytical and compositional procedures in representative works incorporates the analysis and recognition of chromatic harmony, voice leading techniques and different structural levels.
