Description

This introductory course explores the fundamentals of music theory through the lens of Arnold Schoenberg’s Theory of Harmony, one of the 20th century’s most influential texts on tonal structure and harmonic thought.

Designed for beginners, the class provides a step-by-step understanding of how chords function, connect, and create expressive musical meaning. Students will learn the basics of scales, intervals, triads, seventh chords, and harmonic progression, while developing analytical skills to interpret harmony in classical and contemporary contexts.

Through guided reading, listening examples, and practical exercises, participants will gain both a technical foundation and an appreciation for Schoenberg’s philosophical approach to harmony—bridging traditional tonal practice with the ideas that shaped modern music.

No prior formal study of music theory required; basic ability to read musical notation is helpful but not essential.
