Matthew Mendez's Presentation at TAGS 2011

Welcome

Welcome to the SMA website!

The SMA is the UK’s leading organisation dedicated to music theory and analysis. We support and organise a regular programme of events, including the annual TAGS conference (for theory and analysis graduate students), the Music Analysis Summer School (a residential course taught by international experts), and Music Analysis Conferences (‘MACs’). The SMA is interested in music theory in the broadest sense, encompassing critical theory, aesthetics, semiotics, music psychology, cognitive science, and music technology.

If you have a passion for finding out how music works, and what it means, then the SMA is for you. We look forward to welcoming you to the next SMA event. See the Join page to become an SMA member.
