Music history and the physics of sound are included to the extent that they shed light on music theory. The main purpose of the course, however, is to explore basic music theory so thoroughly that the interested student will then be able to easily pick up whatever further theory is wanted. The final section of this course does include a few challenges that are generally not considered "beginner level" musicianship, but are very useful in just about every field and genre of music. A trumpet player interested in jazz, a vocalist interested in early music, a pianist interested in classical composition, and a guitarist interested in world music, will all want to delve into very different facets of music theory although, interestingly, if they all become very well-versed in their chosen fields, they will still end up very capable of understanding each other and cooperating in musical endeavors. Music is a very large subject, and the advanced theory that students will want to pursue after mastering the basics will vary greatly. Course IntroductionĪlthough it is significantly expanded from "Introduction to Music Theory", this course still covers only the bare essentials of music theory. and originally published on OpenStax CNX.
