MUCL 1522 - Music Theory for the Worship Leader

Credits: 2 Fall

Students will learn the basic skills of music reading and deal with the rudiments of music theory that they will encounter in a worship setting. This includes note names in bass and treble clef, key signatures and scales up to 5 flats and sharps, chord spellings, the basics of modulation, how to read a chord chart, and the basics of tablature. This will also include a listening portion to help the students begin to develop basic aural skills associated with music in worship. Students who already have a background in music theory may take a placement exam and receive course credit.
