Analytical Techniques is an upper level music support course for juniors and seniors who have completed the undergraduate required music theory curriculum in harmony and counterpoint. Recommended to be taken after 57-408 Form and Analysis. Studying the principles of Piston, Forte, Schenker and other important music theorists, students will learn to use whatever analytical techniques are best suited to better understand each individual piece. The primary goal of the course is to develop independent skills in analyzing their own repertoire as performers, conductors, composers, and teachers.
