Course Description:

Music Theory Classroom is not just a course; it's a journey through the world of melody and harmony, tailored for high-school and homeschool students eager to dive into the depths of music theory. This 14-week term curriculum is a miniature reflection of what college music majors would study in their first one to two years—made accessible over one to two years or even accelerated within a single year, depending on your dedication and pace.

This course is divided into four parts: the first two being the "Fundamentals" courses, which can be taken concurrently, followed by "Diatonic Harmony" and "Chromatic Harmony". Each part contains 28 lessons, carefully crafted to guide you through a rich tapestry of musical knowledge. Aim to complete around two lessons per week, which will allow you to fully absorb the material without rushing your learning experience.

What You'll Learn in Part 1 of "Fundamentals of Melody and Harmony":

• The Basics: Get comfortable with reading pitches on the staff, including key signatures and mastering the major and minor scales in treble and bass clefs.
• Ready for More? If you've already grasped key signatures and scales, consider starting with Part 2 or Part 3, depending on your current level of understanding.
• Out of Order Lessons: Some lessons are intentionally out of sequence. They're all part of the overall learning journey, but numbered in a way that suggests the optimal path for mastering the material.
