Music theory class teaches how to read music. Learning to read music is like learning a foreign language. Music is read by recognizing musical symbols and then correctly interpretting them. In this class, middle schoolers will learn music symbols and then how to read/interpret them for the purpose of reading music. This skill greatly enhances our ability to learn and perform choral and band music, making us better musicians. This is a middle school class that meets once per week but the concepts carry through band and choir rehearsals. |
