Welcome to Fundamentals of Theory for Fall 2025!

I've got a few different items you could consider as we get started.

1. Get registered on this website

I need you to create an account on this website so I can start posting your grades and stuff.

2. The class syllabus

The Music 220 Syllabus explains what we are going to do this semester and outlines all of our little policies and procedures. You should read it!

3. Student survey

Please fill out a brief survey about your experiences, likes, and where you get your music. This is our first official homework assignment. If you fill it out before class on Tuesday, Sept 2 you get an automatic 100, and you can complete it later than that for a 92.

4. The first paper worksheet (Homework #2)

Homework #2 asks you to add a "count" to some rhythms and notate some rhythms from a count. We will discuss this in our first session and it is also covered on pp. 6-10 of our theory textbook. It is not due until Tuesday, Sept 2.

Ready to Start!
