This course serves as an introduction to learning note values, rhythm notation and analysis, dictation, transcription, and ear training. Students will learn how to identify musical meters and rhythmic phrasing across several styles of music, including classical, jazz, folk, pop, electronic, and rock. It is preferable that each student has a beginner’s knowledge of the fundamentals of music notation, but it is not required. Vocalists, instrumentalists, dancers, and anyone who wants to learn music notation are encouraged to sign up.
