Advanced analytical techniques is a "Music Support" course for graduate students who have passed their music theory competency exams and have completed an undergraduate course of study in harmony and counterpoint. This course provides an in-depth knowledge of all styles and genres of Western classical and contemporary repertoire. The course will cover units in harmonic and motivic analysis, Schenkerian analysis, graphic analysis, twelve-tone analysis, set-class theory, rhythmic analysis, and other analytical techniques. The primary goal of the course is for students to develop independent skills in analyzing their own repertoire as performers, conductors, composers, and teachers.
