In Theory Level 6 students continue their study of rhythm, scales, key signatures, intervals, chords, and musical signs and terms. Level 6 introduces whole-tone and octotonic scales, interval inversion, counterpoint in two voices, and compound ternary form. The level includes two music history units on the Romantic era and early American Jazz. Levine’s music theory classes feature engaging, interactive learning designed to help young musicians develop sight-reading, rhythm, listening, and composition skills.
Please note: Students should have previously completed Theory Level 5, or else should register for a free online placement test to determine placement in this or another theory level. After completing the test, you will receive a class recommendation and registration link from the Department Chair.
For a complete description of the skills taught in Theory Level 6, please see the Music Theory Syllabus. The level corresponds to Level 6 of Levine’s Keyboard Skills curriculum and is appropriate for all instruments and voice.
The class is available to be taken asynchronously. In the asynchronous option, students complete pre-recorded lessons and assignments at any date/time. Students will have weekly deadlines to submit their work. To select the asynchronous option please reach out to Dr. Meier at the email address below for more information on how to register.
