Course Objectives

Incoming graduate students who may have had little harmony and counterpoint training or whose skills need refreshing take this course. Typically students are strong enough in the rudiments of voice leading but may have had less experience with form and structure, and with chromatic and extended harmony. The syllabus provides an overview of the information needed for harmonic analysis and understanding of form, through a study of the literature.
