Music theory
This programme offers advanced training in the field of music theory. The first option is oriented towards the teaching of theory up to HEM level, the second one is aimed at research and the third is aimed at the study of non-Western theories, in association with the Master’s in ethnomusicology course.
Music theory constitutes a branch of knowledge in its own right, albeit one that interacts with a very large number of disciplines in the sciences and the human sciences: musicology, philology and historical studies, covering multiple approaches, aesthetic and philosophy or art, psychology of perception, cognition, acoustics, theory of communication, linguistics, mathematics.
In the field of teaching, music theorists who have benefited from special didactic training are active at conservatoires and higher schools of music, where they take charge of general musical training (classes in writing, analysis, the history of music, etc.). This role in the passing on of knowledge is also exercised in other forms, such as radio broadcasts, lectures or publications.
