S2E5: As Promised: What To Do About Part Writing

In this episode, we finally get to talk about 🎼 SATB chorale-style part-writing and related radical reimagining of the undergraduate music theory core! We also celebrate Kaitlyn's successful defense of her Ph.D. dissertation, and reflect on the amazing things we've both done during our four years as doctoral students. 🥳

To view Kaitlyn's dissertation lecture, see it on youtube here.

Don't forget to drop by our office hours to send us questions, comments, or ideas for future episodes!

We mention Megan Lavengood's article about a modular theory curriculum here, Kristen Wallentinsen's presentation about grading and equity (abstract here), and Katherine Pukinskis's article about decentralizing part-writing here.

This episode features clips from J.S. Bach's St. Matthew's Passion, "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden," and Carol Ades's "Turns Out I'm Amazing."

Tune in next time for our last episode of Season 2! 🎉
