In music theory/composition, we learn the fundamentals of music and how to write it. This class is unique to Emereau because of its focus on composing music as its ultimate goal. This lines up with the Emereau Music Vision as we grow into more creative, independent composers who can write music to be performed by others, even by musicians in our school. At the end of the year, their final compositions are presented in a professional copy and recorded. Our studies come from Ars Nova's Exploring Theory with Practica Musica online textbook (and a host of other supplements), complete with interactive examples and an in-depth look into the musical elements and physics of music. The text is available for free download on their website.
