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 regional and national conferences as presenters. The program requires students to produce an in-depth research paper on a subject selected with their advisor's guidance, alongside complementary coursework in related disciplines like foreign languages, music history, and research methodologies.
Specialized classes in counterpoint, orchestration, musical analysis, keyboard harmony, and analytical technique workshops introduce students to diverse methodologies for comprehending, interpreting, aurally perceiving, performing, and creating music. Through these multifaceted approaches to musical exploration, the theory curriculum establishes a robust framework for musical growth both at the University of Delaware and in future professional endeavors.
