Introduction to Music Theory with Lisa Kacos
How do we communicate the musical sounds we make or imagine? Talk about harmonies or rhythms so that other musicians could instantly understand? Get ideas on paper, to share them accurately and easily? Music theory! It’s about understanding music more deeply, communicating music more clearly, and creating music with a much bigger musical toolbox! Whether you have no theory at all, a few piano lessons in second grade, or a lot of knowledge with big gaps, music theory IS for you.
Post Tonal Theory with Jerome Reed
The history of electronic music begins around 1901 when Thaddeus Cahill constructed a working model of the Mark I Telharmonium. This was followed by a number of different experimental instruments, most of which we no longer use: the Trautonium, the Ondes Martenot, the Theremin, the Buchla, the Moog synthesizer, the Synclavier, the Fairlight, and the Yamaha DX-7. We'll look at these early instruments, listen to the sounds they made, and explore how they made them.
