MUSC 2045 - Aural Theory IV

Credits: 1
The fourth semester of a four-semester series on the fundamentals of ear training, sight-singing, and dictation skills. Students demonstrate an understanding of notation, intervals, major and minor scales, key signatures, rhythm (including triplets, syncopation, and complex meter), and melodic sequences (including chromaticism and 20th-century harmonies). Students study and notate harmonic sequences including diatonic, chromatic, secondary dominants, modulation, and 20th century harmonic language. Students apply appropriate principles of transforming sound into notation through the writing of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic examples from dictation, and the transformation of notation into sound with sight-singing with solfege.

Prerequisite: Completion of MUSC 2035.
