In Theory Level 6 students continue their study of rhythm, scales, key signatures, intervals, and chords. Level 6 introduces whole-tone and octatonic scales, interval inversion, counterpoint in two voices, and compound ternary form. This level includes two music history units on the Romantic era and ragtime/ early 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.
