nautliuspq with Music 12, I'm coming to realize how much better I am at recognizing the function of chords than I used to be. I think this is a byproduct of Music 15. This is a much more useful form of analysis - knowing that a chord is a dominant prep is much more useful and insightful than knowing a chord is IV6. It's difficult to do this without a good foundation, but it's a much better way of analyzing music and something that should be taught to theory students sooner rather than later, I think.
