The teaching and research of theorists are concentrated upon developing models and methods for understanding musical languages. How are specific pieces of music put together and how may this be generalized to relate to the way other pieces of music are composed?
First and second year theory classes incorporate a combination of writing skills and analysis. As you advance in your theory major, you will take specialized courses in such subjects as the application of mathematical models to music analysis and Renaissance-style counterpoint. |
