2011 Summer Music Theory Group Classes


REGISTRATION FORM

History
Students can complete their RCM History I, History II and History III requirements this summer in only six weeks. Emphasis in the classes will be on listening to the music that is being studied. Students will learn how to distinguish the style characteristics of different composers and time periods, and how to recognize the structure and form of what they are hearing
.

Students will have to study and memorize dates, composers’ lives, and other relevant material on their own and in study groups. Each hour of class time will have to be matched by two hours of individual and/or group study.
