Notate selected melodic examples from audio recordings. Sing at sight songs that may also feature examples of modulation, modality and atonality. Perform melodic examples that feature atonal pods. Sing one melodic line of music while playing another melodic line on the piano at the same time. Course Content Outline I. Romantic, Post-Romantic and Twentieth Century Techniques a. Analysis, singing, and dictation of advanced chromatic melodies including modulations to distantly-related keys b. Harmonic dictation including secondary/applied chords, mode mixture, non-dominant 7th chords, Neapolitan and augmented 6th chords, extended and altered chords, and modulations to distantly-related keys II. Impressionism and Modality a. Aural identification and singing of the diatonic modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian b. Aural identification and singing of non-diatonic and synthetic scales: whole-tone, pentatonic, octatonic, etc.. c. Sight singing, performance, and dictation of melodies in the diatonic modes and/or other scales d. Analysis and dictation of chord progressions in the diatonic modes III. Twentieth-Century Techniques a.Analysis, performance, and dictation of pitch sets, tone rows, and post-tonal melodies b.Performance of melodies featuring irregular beat divisions and polyrhythms and/or in asymmetrical or mixed meters c.Dictation of rhythms featuring irregular beat divisions and polyrhythms and/or in asymmetrical or mixed meters IV. Sight singing and performance of music in multiple parts (canons, duets, chorales, etc..) appropriate to the topics studied. V. Performance of rhythm and sight singing exercises while conducting. VI. Exercises to detect errors in rhythm, pitch, harmony, and/or solfeggio. VII. Exercises at the piano keyboard, such as playing chord progressions while singing any part or arpeggiations of the chords. Course Objectives Course Objectives Lecture Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the ability to hear music with understanding, recognizing patterns and musical function, by a.aurally identifying and singing the diatonic modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian). b.taking dictation of chromatic, modulating, modal, and post-tonal melodies. c.taking dictation of rhythms featuring irregular beat divisions and polyrhythms and/or in asymmetrical or mixed meters. d.aurally identifying and transcribing harmonic progressions utilizing secondary/applied chords, mode mixture, non-dominant 7th chords, Neapolitan and augmented 6th chords, extended and altered chords, and modulation to distantly-related keys. 2. Demonstrate the ability to "audiate" a musical score by a.sight reading and performing rhythms featuring irregular beat divisions and polyrhythms and/or in asymmetrical or mixed meters. b.preparing and sight singing chromatic, modulating, modal, and post-tonal melodies. Lab Objectives: 1. Sing at sight songs in major or minor tonalities that may also feature examples of modulation or modality; 2. Perform melodic examples that feature atonal pods 3. Sing one melodic line of music while playing another melodic line on the piano at the same time. Methods of Evaluation Objective Examinations Problem Solving Examinations Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Students will read chapter on modality from the textbook and discuss challenges for sight singing in class. 2. Students will read music in four parts while listening to a recording. 3. Students will read music in two or more parts while audiating (silently hearing it). Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Demonstrate intermediate and advanced level songs by sight singing. 2. Write two critical reviews of live concerts and/or recitals focusing on the use of the topics studied in class. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Select an example of music from the Impressionist period and outline its modal scales and/or synthetic scales. Guide the class through your outline as the recording is playing. Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Other materials and-or supplies required of students that contribute to the cost of the course.
