The seminar »#gis – Basics for international students« is a project of the International Office of HMTM. It is aimed at international students on Bachelor’s degree courses.

The seminar includes learning units from two areas:

1. For the subject of music theory, there are introductory videos on the topics of »basso continuo«, »scale-step theory« and »function theory«.
2. For theory of musical form, the four-part series “Syntactic units” 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):
