Welcome to Music Theory 21c, a collaborative wiki for sharing ideas and resources pertaining to a new curricular approach to undergraduate music theory.
About this site
This site is managed by Stefanie Acevedo and Toby Rush, who both teach Music Theory at the University of Dayton.
At the 2020 annual conference of Music Theory Midwest, we presented a new approach to undergraduate music theory which we have put into place at the University of Dayton. During and after the presentation, we were delighted to hear from others in the field who were interested in pursuing similar efforts in their own curricula.
The first step in our process toward creating a textbook to support our new curriculum was to create a list of resources — course objectives, worksheets, research, software, and so on. We realized that opening this process to others would not only allow us to benefit from the diversity of talents that our curricular approach celebrates, but it would allow others to reap the same benefits. This site is the product of that decision.
How the site works
The core of the wiki are the Lesson Pages, each of which is devoted to a specific lesson topic. A lesson may comprise one or more days of classroom instruction. See Sample Schedules for some possible arrangements.
Each Lesson Page has six sections:
- Objectives, which lists relevant lesson objectives;
- Resources, which lists learning resources such as reference documents or external resources;
- Class Activities, which includes lecture notes and other activities for in-class learning;
- Assignments, which include individual worksheets and other assignments for student practice and assimilation;
- Assessments, which might contain quizzes or questions for exams; and
- Notes, which can include general information about the lesson.
Discussion among authors about specific lessons should be included on the page's Talk page rather than in the page itself.
How to participate
