- Academic analysis: based on theory.
- Pragmatic analysis: based upon the music at hand.
- Functional analysis: based upon positions of notes and chords using Arabic or Roman numerals; 1-2-3, etc. and I-II-III, etc.
- Identity analysis: based on the unique quality of sound of intervals and chords using letters or symbols; M, m, x, Ø, and o. The symbol, ‘x’ is the correct identifier for the dominant, and not ‘V7 ’. The numbers, ‘V7 ’ are functions and have nothing to do with identity …nothing whatever.
- Intervallic analysis: the analysis of intervals, characteristic intervals, melodic intervals, and functional intervals.
