It covers the elements of diatonic music commonly found in classical, jazz, and popular music styles, including Roman numeral and lead sheet analysis, seventh chords, non-chord tones, voice-leading, and an introduction to tonicization. Aural and visual recognition, as well as practical application of materials, is emphasized.
