Music Theory & Aural Training

Leah Amarosa is teaching the Encore Enrichment Class "Music Theory and Aural Training" for all ages and levels. The Class will last 1 hour each week at the same day and time online through Zoom. The purpose of this class is to provide a comprehensive and systematic ongoing training program for all our music students in music theory concepts and knowledge as well as to sharpen listening skills and analytical abilities. It will create a more well-rounded and confident music student as well as improve skills which include sight-singing, improvisation, composition, sight-reading, form and analysis, and more. Here is a list of some of the topics to be covered:

Staff, Clefs, and Ledger Lines
Note Durations
Measures and Time Signature
Rest Durations
Dots and Ties
Steps and Accidentals
Simple and Compound Meter
Odd Meter
Major and Minor Scales
Scale Degrees
Key Signatures
Intervals
Chord Structure
Triad Inversion
Seventh Chord Inversions
Chord Progressions
Circle of 5ths
Form and Analysis
More Advanced Concepts

The Aural(Ear) Training aspect is an extension of many of the concepts such as chord identification, interval identification, scale identification. The students will listen to excerpts of music and determine the tonality as well as take rhythmic and melodic dictation. The class is $80/month, however all current Encore students receive a 50% discount bringing the tuition to $40/month(or $10/hour of instruction) and a one-time registration fee of $25. Please seriously consider this option as we feel it will further Encore's mission of providing excellent and enriching music education for all our students!
