Beneath the joy of music lies the often mysterious field of music theory. But what if you could learn to understand the often intimidating （使人望而生畏的）language of key signatures, pitch （音高），mode （音乐的调式）,melody and more? What if you could recognize these components at work while listening to your favorite music? What if you could "speak" the language of music?
In Understanding the Fundamentals of Music, award winning composer and professor Greenberg offers you a spirited introduction to this magnificent language, avoiding what for many of us has long been the principal roadblock: the need to read music. With these 16 fascinating lectures, discover what parts of musical speech sound like, rather than what they look like on paper. You'll quickly find yourself listening to music with new levels of understanding and appreciation whether at a concert, at home or in your car.
