Course overview
Music Theory 3 Course
This Music Theory 3 course focuses on constructing and identifying chords. Learning to construct and identify chords will give you an efficient understanding of the harmonic design of music, and will allow you to quickly bring the music you’re studying to life on your instrument. Chords are used throughout many styles of music, and learning about the construction and function of chords should be a priority for all musicians.
Our lessons will help you develop your knowledge on a step-by-step basis. In addition to reviewing the basic construction of triads, you will learn about different chord positions and how to build and identify 7th chords. You will learn about cadences, the function and identification of non-chord tones, and how to analyze chords using the tools of Roman numeral analysis.
