Course details
Students will cover advanced aspects of the language of modern music with a particular focus on jazz idioms. Modern harmony, melody, music structures, genre specific devices and stylistic idioms are all studied with weight given to musicianship and practical applications as well as theoretical and analytical work. In the literacy skills area the course aims to enable students to "hear what they see" and "write what they hear". Students are also required to develop musical reproduction skills (vocal). In the theory area a paradigm for understanding the language of modern music is presented with some reference to the foundation of western harmony. Analysis and written exercises are used to develop an advanced knowledge of the structures and styles of modern harmony and melody. This course aims to develop advanced levels of interaction between theoretical knowledge and practical musical application.
