Students pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Music Theory engage in an intensive curriculum designed to equip them for advanced graduate studies. Alongside close collaboration with theory professors, participants benefit from mentorship opportunities and are motivated to participate in both regional and national academic conferences. The program requires students to produce a substantial research paper on a subject selected with their advisor's guidance, alongside complementary studies in areas like foreign languages, music history, and research methodologies.
Specialized classes in counterpoint, orchestration, musical analysis, keyboard harmony, and analytical technique seminars introduce students to diverse methodologies for comprehending, interpreting, aural perception, performance, and musical composition. Through multiple avenues for musical exploration, these theory courses establish a robust framework for musical development during their time at the University of Delaware and throughout their future careers.
