and Counterpoint is an accelerated introduction to species counterpoint and traditional
harmony, now increasingly weighted towards the latter as a necessary background
for Composing in Tonal Forms. There are no prerequisites to the class aside
from basic musical literacy, particularly the ability to read treble bass and
alto clefs reasonably fluently. A very few conservatory students will require a
review of musical fundamentals, obtainable through the music department Theory
I class. Exemption policy: Exemption is to be determined by a placement exam.

1 credit The Alexander
Technique provides a way of teaching us how to re-connect with our own innate
energies. For musicians this means discovering a way of performing with greater
muscular ease, less accumulated fatigue and a less restrictive approach to
technique. This course introduces both F. M. Alexander's principles and a new
set of physical experiences suited to the musician's specific needs. The aim of
the class will be learning how to apply the Technique to practice and
performance situations. Students will have the opportunity to work with their
instruments in class.

4
credits Composing
in Styles is a class based on the study of musical form, the large scale plan
according to which extended works unfold in time. You will learn about these
forms by composing four complete pieces within each type, generally these have
included 1) a baroque dance form movement-modelled on the Bach solo violin
Partitas and the Bach cello suites 2) a set of five variations on a ground
bass, 3) a group of waltzes and 4) a complete sonata exposition. The process of
composing these involves examining several pieces of each formal type,
extracting from them the basic principles of their construction. Then, you will
immediately compose sections of the work submitting them to me for suggestions
for revision, reworking each section until a musically satisfying and coherent
piece within the basic style is achieved. Pre-requisite: CNSV 130 or permission
of the instructor. Exemption policy: Students who have composed works in the
tonal style can place out of CNSV 230 by submitting a portfolio of these
pieces.
