The course is designed to engage you <em>as a musician<\/em>, so it emphasizes sound and experience as much as conceptual understanding. With every new topic, you\u2019ll gain mastery by playing, singing, and listening\u2014as well as doing traditional paper-and-pencil work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Content<\/h2>\n<p>Interested in\u00a0<span class=\"brand-heading black\"><span class=\"e\">E<\/span>THEORY:<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"brand-desc black\">Graduate Music Theory Review<\/span>?
