A more advanced theory course that stresses the mastery of the elements of music for the purpose of composition or improvisation. Exercises in music reading, writing and sightsinging emphasize 20th century materials such as modes, pentatonic scales, and whole tone scales, while harmonic study concentrates on non-harmonic tones and thematic development.

Prerequisite: MS 1110  or instructor approval.
