Brief description of the subject:

Music is the art of intonation, a reflection of reality expressed through sounds. It reflects existence in a unique way, enriches it, and aids in understanding and transforming it. It is known that music plays a significant role in societal life. Music is inevitably present in a person’s lifestyle and social life, during work and leisure, serving as a unique tool to achieve spiritual values. It is an effective instrument of aesthetic education that shapes an individual’s spiritual world and moral goals. Music itself, its creators, performers, and listeners form the music culture, which is an important domain of societal culture. The initial part of the music education system—Elementary Music Theory—aims to study the fundamental elements of music and, in particular, the melody and its intricacies. Although information about each music element is included in specific chapters of the textbook for generalization purposes, students should remember that music elements reveal their expressive qualities only when interconnected. The Elementary Music Theory course provides a solid foundation for students to study subsequent theoretical subjects and fosters the development of independent musical thinking skills. Topics such as mode, rhythm, melody, and chromaticism, illuminated from a historical perspective, facilitate this. In addition to these primary objectives, this course assists students in consciously mastering the texts of musical works covered in other music subjects (instrumental and vocal performance, choir conducting, music teaching methodology). Ultimately, Elementary Music Theory, alongside other subjects, contributes to enhancing students’ general musical and cultural proficiency. The main theories of the music theory course are presented in a consistent manner. Thorough mastery of the subject, along with knowledge of theoretical materials, serves as a skill during students’ pedagogical practice and in their work after graduation.
