This course is designed as an introduction to the field of music education. It will provide students with an overview of the multifaceted nature of music teaching and learning, and serve as a foundation for the construction of your own beliefs and practices as a teacher and give you a framework to work effectively in diverse settings. This course will include: field experiences, readings, presentations, instructional technologies as well as historical, psychological, and philosophical foundations. Though this class is the first required MUED course of the music education major, major-level status in the School of Music is not required to enroll.

This course will address issues of improvisation, composition, and creativity of critical importance to musicians and music educators, with a strong emphasis on music-theoretical and socio-cultural modes of understanding the meanings and functions of music. Students will gain experience with the creative practices characteristic of a variety of Western and non-Western forms, including those of jazz and Minnesota American Indian music. The workshop format of the class will challenge students to improvise and compose works, present and perform them to their peers, provide and receive constructive feedback, engage and respond to this feedback with reference to clearly articulated statements of artistic intent, and revise the works accordingly. Students will apply insights derived in this manner in final research projects focused on the development of lesson and unit plans. prereq: At least C- in MUS 4504 or instructor permission

This course begins the core sequence of theory and musicianship courses required of the undergraduate music majors and music minors. In this course, you will develop basic skills in music fundamentals and apply these to counterpoint and analytical exercises. These studies will then also be applied as concrete skills in your musicianship class (MUS 1511 Ear-Training/Sight-Singing I) through identification of musical materials, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic dictation, and sight-singing. Repertoire for study includes Western Art Music from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as popular musics from the 20th and 21st centuries. Students will hone writing skills in stylistic musical composition and analytical prose. prereq: course must be taken concurrently w/ MUS 1511.

These courses continue the core sequence of undergraduate theory and musicianship courses that are required for the undergraduate music majors and minors. Building upon the skills developed in the earlier courses [MUS 1501, 1511], we will now develop a more complete and sophisticated understanding of the different kinds of tonality that obtain in musics from the 18th century to today. These concepts will then also be applied as concrete skills in musicianship classes (MUS 1512 Ear-Training and Sight Singing II) through melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic dictation; sight-singing and clef reading. Each component emphasizes melodic and harmonic principles of tonality. Co-Requisite: students must concurrently enroll in MUS 1512. prereq: MUS 1501 and MUS 1511 with grade of at least C-
