200 - INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC THEORY
(4 UNITS) UC:CSU
Music theory is a set of principles used to analyze the
construction and perception of music. This course is the
first in a sequence of four levels of music theory intended
for music majors who plan to earn a music certificate,
degree, and/or transfer to a four-year music program.
It presents the principles of tonality—the tendency of
certain types of music to progress toward a central tone or
key. Topics will include a review of music fundamentals
and an introduction to melodic construction, two-part
counterpoint, figured bass, Roman numeral analysis,
basic harmonic elaboration and reduction, cadences
and four-part voice leading. In addition, it will address
musicianship—the ability to read, perform and transcribe
music—including techniques for sight singing, basic
keyboard harmony and melodic and harmonic dictation.
201 - HARMONY I (3 UNITS) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Music 200 or equivalent with a grade of

Corequisite: Concurrent enrollment of Music 211.
This course is the second in a sequence of four levels of
music theory intended for music majors who plan to earn
a music certificate, degree, and/or transfer to a four-year
music program. It continues where MUSIC 200 left off;
presenting the principles of contrapuntal expansion of
tonality. Topics will include the elaboration and reduction
of tonic, pre-dominant and dominant harmonies, and
phrase structure. Concurrent enrollment in MUSIC 211
is essential for the synthesis of concepts presented in this
course.

presenting the principles of chromatic expansion of tonality
and an introduction to musical form. Topics will include
harmonic sequences, applied chords, modulation, binary
form, modal mixture, Neapolitan chords, augmented
sixth chords and period structure. Concurrent enrollment
in MUSIC 212 is essential for the synthesis of concepts
presented in this course.
