Rhythm Engineering: PRE-REQ to all the Traditional Courses

In Rhythm Engineering we teach the principles of Schillingers Theory of Rhythm.
The Schillinger System of Musical Composition published posthumously by Carl
Fischer was taken from a collection of Mr. Schillingers notes. What is missing is
Schillingers voice. This has been the problem of trying to learn this incredible
material from the books alone.Rhythm Engineering is the foundation of the
Schillinger System. Joseph Schillinger believed that in order to create an original
piece of art the artist (engineer) must construct it through principles and
procedures leaving nothing to chance.

Pitch Scales

In Pitch Scales, you will learn Schillingers four groups: Diatonic in one octave,
Diatonic more than one octave, Symmetric in one octave, Symmetric in more than one
octave. You will learn how to harmonize symmetric scales, geometrical projections,
geometrical inversions, geometrical expansions.

Harmonic Engineering: Part One

In Harmonic Engineering, you will learn Schillingers special theory of harmony,

which includes three types of harmonization. Type one: The diatonic system and the
symmetric system. Type two: The diatonic system of harmonization. Type three: the
symmetric system of harmonization. You will also learn chord structures and their
inversions, groups with passing chords, extended structures. As well as, the
chromatic system of harmony and its modulation.

Harmonic Engineering: Part Two

In Harmonic Engineering part two, we are building upon the classes in Harmonic
Engineering part one. Using those previous lessons you will now learn to use
extended chord forms, how to harmonize a melody and practical uses of Harmonic
Engineering.

Melodic Engineering

In Melodic Engineering you will be introduced to the semantics of melody. You will
also learn a new notation system for creating and analyzing melody. Using this
notation, you will find the melodys axes and how they produce resistance to
control your compositions. You will also learn, to superimpose scales and time on
these axes.

Arranging & Orchestration

In the Arranging section, you will learn Schillingers strata harmony. This will
include the composition of multiple strata parts, instrumental strata, and forms of
accompanied melody.

In Orchestration, you will learn Schillingers traditional method of orchestration,

his nomenclature, notation and instrumental combinations. You will also learn his
acoustical basis of orchestration.

Theory of Composition

The Theory of Composition will be the last course in Practical Schillinger series.
We will tap into all of your previous knowledge of the Schillinger System using the
entire system, Schillingers theories and a variety of major components as building
blocks to writing your compositions. You will be one of the very few that will have
total knowledge of the Schillinger System of Musical Composition.
