Description: 

This course is intended for adults or older beginners who want to understand how music is put together, how it works, how it is written down. We will work with real music, since hearing it and making it come alive is what music is all about.

Participants in this course will help determine where we will take our explorations of:

  • pitch -- notes, keys, scales
  • rhythm -- note values, rests, accents, time signatures, rhythmic patterns, syncopation
  • intervals -- hearing them, writing them, their character, their basis in acoustics
  • chords -- the sound qualities of different chords, their structure and function in music
  • chord progressions -- how chords are used to make a piece of music, how they follow each other, how music moves
  • ear training -- pitch, rhythm, harmony
  • the basics of music reading and sight singing - elements to consider when writing melodies
  • relevant aspects of music theory

This course will be taught online via Zoom. Registrants will also receive access to RCM's Online Theory Study Guide for Level 5, a $20 value.

Requires workbook*: Celebrate Theory 5

*Add the workbook to your purchase (includes taxes and shipping). Please note that delivery prior to the start of the course cannot be guaranteed.
