Music school teaches students how to play music by learning how to play an instrument, or by learning to sing. This requires learning the theory of music. To learn the theory of music, students will learn scales such as the major and minor scales, chordal structures and how to build chords, what the 12 keys are, harmony between notes, octaves, and rhythm. Students taking a Scoring and Composition degree will learn how to make music that's appropriate for film, television, documentaries, and even video games.
