Tonal Harmony and Counterpoint 2 will further develop students’ understanding and skills in tonal music theory, music analysis and tonal composition, building on learning in Tonal Harmony and Counterpoint 1. Supportive materials will continue to promote students’ knowledge of theoretical background and introduce more advanced concepts within tonal harmony. Weekly seminars will allow students to explore practical application of their knowledge within a range of diverse tonal styles. Students will learn to apply their knowledge in a more creative manner, deploying more sophisticated processes in harmony and learning to recognise and apply patterns characteristic of particular styles and genres.
