We delve into breaking down music and using specific vocabulary to analyze it. We start by dissecting music into its elements and encourage students to think objectively about the music they listen to. We then progress to learning how to build scales and triads, analyzing compositions, and manipulating them for desired effects. Additionally, we focus on training students' ears to identify rhythm and pitch, as well as notating music. I emphasize the importance of staying on top of coursework and utilizing textbook examples for success. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. Thank you for watching!
