This course extends from a prerequisite of Music Theory 101, a ubiquitous first-semester college course whose material is also commonly taught to high school piano, guitar and jazz musicians. There are several free online textbooks teaching Music Theory 101 (recommendations need to be provided). | This course extends from a prerequisite of Music Theory 101, a ubiquitous first-semester college course whose material is also commonly taught to high school piano, guitar and jazz musicians.

This introduction to xenharmonic music course begins by reintroducing some basic musicology terms but in a xenharmonic context. That may mean they have unusual definitions, or that they're explained in a way that points toward how they're understood and used in xenharmonic music. | This introduction to xenharmonic music course begins by reintroducing some basic musicology terms but in a xenharmonic context.

***Melodic arpeggiation, and the introduction of ostinato in early basso continuo accompaniment, provided an opening to harmonic ideas in early European JI music, without the more glaring dissonance of notes sounded simultaneously. | ***Melodic arpeggiation, and the introduction of ostinato in early basso continuo accompaniment, provided an opening to harmonic ideas in early European JI music, without the more glaring dissonance of notes sounded simultaneously. | ||
***Later, the development of [[Wikipedia:Meantone temperament|meantone temperaments]] in European music expanded the number of acceptably consonant intervals ([[wikipedia:List_of_meantone_intervals|List of meantone intervals]]), while listeners also became more accepting of less pure intervals as consonant (most extremely in [[Wikipedia:Emancipation of the dissonance|Emancipation of the dissonance]]), allowing expansion and exploration of triadic and larger harmonies. | ***Later, the development of [[Wikipedia:Meantone temperament|meantone temperaments]] in European music expanded the number of acceptably consonant intervals ([[wikipedia:List_of_meantone_intervals|List of meantone intervals]]), while listeners also became more accepting of less pure intervals as consonant (most extremely in [[Wikipedia: Emancipation of the dissonance|Emancipation of the dissonance]]), allowing expansion and exploration of triadic and larger harmonies. | ||
