The course begins with the construction of bass lines and melodies in Doh major. Shortly, students begin to place themes over a given bass line and then construct bass lines under a given tune. We study key signatures in the order found in the Circle of Fifths and learn chords and chord progressions by their function within the diatonic scale. Increasingly, we group harmonic sequences into musical phrases created in specific rhythm structures, which provide music that will incite movement. Beginners learn to play for the walk, trot, skip, and gallop, but soon learn to create music for all types of expressive movement.
