ONLINE BASIC MUSIC THEORY COURSE
Instructor: Dr. Scott L. Hines

This is a not-for-credit, preparatory music theory course which covers the foundations of music theory including the keyboard, music notation, accidentals, intervals, key signatures, major and minor scales, rhythm, triads, chords, and basic cadences. Completion of the online course gives students the knowledge they need to successfully write college level basic music theory entrance exams (such as the University of Memphis entrance exam). The course offers highly focused, interactive presentations and randomized on-demand exercises. It not only explains the fundamentals of music to someone who has little or no music experience, but gives them infinite exercises to practice intervals, scales, notation and rhythm, from any computer, right inside their web browser.  Students can take the course at their own pace from any computer connection.

Dates for the Online Theory Course: Summer 2013:  June 3 – July 31, 2013
