What are some ideas on this topic? I went to a liberal arts college on the east coast and did not take any music classes. So I am wondering if anyone on the bulletin board is in a similar situation to me but who might have had music classes at a liberal arts college. Just curious... I would imagine, however, that the liberal arts philosophy of teaching music is much different from that of music conservatories. Just an idea...

I took five semesters of musicology at an east coast liberal arts school: 2 music history, 2 jazz history and 1 course focusing upon periods of change (middle ages/renaissance, renaissance/baroqoe, baroque/classical, classical romantic, romantic modern.) There were other musicology courses, also as well as a pretty good composition program.

did you take any music theory? that is something i wish i would have been able to take while in school...
doing a double-major, however, kind of took up all of my time....
anyway, if you had music theory, how well was it taught?

I took some theory in high school, but steered clear at college. (My college had a pretty serious composition program.) It helps you think about stuff...

What helps you think about stuff: music composition or theory? I've thought about finding some theory book or something I could use to learn what I need to.... can you recommend any such theory books that might be useful?

The theory frovides an intellectual framework for things like chord progressions as well as concepts like "resolution." A lot of it is closely related to listening. I suggest that you find a course rather than try to do it on your own.

Finding a course on music theory in my area wouldn't be too difficult; it's the time factor involved... with working full-time and doing music for fun (among everything else), I thought getting a book on music theory would allow me to go at my own pace.

Maybe they can recommend something. If you want, I can walk by there and take a look for you (It's near my office.).

Sure... if you have the time, that would be great! :o)
I'm nowhere near New York though (I was there over Labor Day weekend)... but I could call them and order something they recommend.
Thanks!
