1/2 Credit Hour – 16 Week Course

The Fundamentals of Music Course is a course specially designed for Homeschoolers. The course is a sixteen week drip style course, where lectures are released weekly both live and video.

There is an assignment or quiz produced weekly, and all grades are posted through email for all registered students and parents. This course is equivalent to 1/2 credit hours, typically used as an elective. Bundle this with our Music Appreciation course for the equivalent of 1 credit hour taught successively.

What the student will learn…

The Fundamentals of Music Course is designed as an introduction to the basic concepts of music. Students will learn basic note reading, rhythm, scales and intervals – with a healthy dose of history.

This is a great course to pursue before registering for our Comprehensive Music Theory course – a much more intensive and faster paced course.

Pre-requisites

Seventh Grade or similar level of academic achievement and age or above. (The course typically ranges from ages 13 to 18)

A fast internet connection and webcam capable of livestreaming. (We use a livestreaming service that doesn’t require the student to download an app, if you have Chrome or Edge. A link for the livestream portion of the classes will be emailed and posted prior to the course beginning.) A laptop or PC is preferred, but a smartphone or tablet will suffice.

Course tuition must be paid in full prior to the first lecture. Tuition can be paid by clicking the Enroll Now button below. Please include your preferred Course Section from our table below while registering by adding in the “add Note” field. All attempts will be made to enroll your student in that section.

After Enrollment, we will ship a copy of The Fundamentals of Music Workbook. This workbook helps the student keep track of weekly assignments and concepts. Chock full of many examples and exercises. If preferred, we can also email a PDF copy of the same.

Important dates

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion from Musicosophy LLC.
