MUS 118Keyboard Skills I

Catalog

Basic keyboard skills for music majors and minors whose primary applied area is not piano: scales, arpeggios, harmonization, transposition, sight-reading, and repertoire pieces. In a laboratory of digital pianos with disk drives, students will use accompaniment software written for graded repertoire, digitally record their own performances for playback analysis, and have the opportunity to create and record their own orchestrations. Prerequisite: Note-reading proficiency.
