Aural Theory III

Catalog description

The third 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 and syncopation), and melodic sequences (including chromaticism). Students study and notate harmonic structures including all diatonic triads, dominant, and leading-tone seventh chords. 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.
