The seminar »#gis – Grundlagen für internationale Studierende« is a project of the International Office of HMTM. It is aimed at international students on Bachelor’s degree programmes.

The seminar includes learning units from two areas:

1. For the subject Musiktheorie, there are introductory videos on the topics of »Generalbass«, »Stufentheorie« and »Funktionstheorie«.
2. For Formenlehre, the four-part series »Syntaktische Einheiten« is available.

At the centre of each learning unit is an animated explanatory video. The script and a vocabulary list with technical terms are available for download for each video.

The German texts in the videos correspond to language level B1 and are subtitled in German.

The content shall build a bridge between the basic knowledge and the music theory modules in the artistic degree programs.

You can find the seminar on the Open Music Academy website (in German):
