Description
Sight Singing and Dictation I provides students with methodology and basic skills for learning sight singing and musicianship skills. Using solfege as an instructional vehicle, the students sing major and minor scales, and melodies with intervals up to a fourth in treble and bass clef. Basic harmonic
progressions focus on simple cadential formulae, and the student performs basic two-part sing-play exercises. Rhythmic subdivision up to 16th notes and 8th note triples are explored. Memorization and note-name transposition of melodies is begun. Dictation as a regular drill is done in the computer lab. Corequisite: MUS 103. Offered each fall.
