Brief Overview of the Course:
Music is the art of intonation, a reflection of reality expressed through sounds. It uniquely reflects existence, enriches it, and aids in its understanding and transformation. It is well-known that music plays a significant role in societal life. Music is invariably present in a person’s lifestyle and social life, during work and leisure, serving as a unique tool to attain spiritual values. It is an effective means of aesthetic education, shaping an individual’s spiritual world and moral goals. Music, its creators, performers, and listeners constitute the musical culture, an essential part of societal culture. The foundational part of the music education system — Elementary Music Theory — aims to study the basic elements of music, particularly melody and its intricacies. Although information about each musical element is included in separate sections of the textbook, students should remember that musical elements reveal their expressive qualities only in their interrelation. The Elementary Music Theory course provides a solid foundation for studying subsequent theoretical disciplines and fosters the development of independent musical thinking skills. Topics such as mode, rhythm, melody, and chromaticism, illuminated from a historical perspective, contribute to this. Beyond these primary objectives, the course assists students in consciously mastering the texts of musical works in other musical disciplines (instrumental and vocal performance, choral conducting, music teaching methodology). Finally, Elementary Music Theory, alongside other disciplines, contributes to enhancing students’ overall musical and cultural level.
