MU-UY 3134 Music Theory for Songwriters

4 Credits
In this introduction to music theory as it applies to songwriting, students compose music and lyrics, building on a practical application of scale, chord and harmony theory. An integral part of the course is an introduction to the craft of poetry as applied to song-lyric writing. Students need free access to a guitar or piano, and some experience on either instrument is preferred. However, neither formal training nor technical proficiency is required.

Prerequisite(s): Instructor’s permission or MU-UY 2124 .
Note: Satisfies a humanities and social sciences elective.
