Demonstrate the ability to hear music with understanding, recognizing patterns, phrase structure and musical function, by: a. taking dictation of melodies in major and minor keys featuring leaps from the I, IV, V and V7 chords. b. taking dictation of rhythms with subdivided beats in simple and compound meters. c. taking harmonic dictation of common diatonic progressions with inversions, writing outer voices and Roman Numerals. Activity Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the ability to "audiate" a musical score by a. sight reading and performing rhythms with subdivided beats in simple and compound meters. b. sight singing melodies in major and minor keys featuring leaps from the I, IV, V and V7 chords. c. sight singing melodies with common melodic patterns (arpeggios, sequences, passing and neighbor tones). General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information CSU Transferable UC Transferable Methods of Evaluation Objective Examinations Example: 1. Sample-based exams will consist of the description and identification of intervals, chords and other music materials including the notation of a dictated musical melody and/or rhythm pattern. 2. Performance exams will consist of demonstration of the ability to sing a musical line, rhythm or melody with a steady beat and accuracy with correct solfege syllables. Skill Demonstrations Example: 1. In-class sight singing and dictation drills (Rubric grading) 2. In-class drills in rhythmic accuracy Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: Instructor assigns duets. Students go to a practice room to learn duet in 5 minutes and come back to perform with solfege syllables. Lecture: Instructor plays a chord on the piano. Students are instructed to identify the inversion being played and notate on manuscript paper and afterward sharing their results. Instructor plays a pattern of notes on the piano. Notes include altered tones. Students are instructed to notate the melody as it is heard, including proper rhythmic patterns. Students would be asked to compare answers with each other in discussion and instructor would guide and clarify as necessary. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read textbook chapter about Leaps within the Tonic Triad in Minor Keys and be prepared to demonstrate the differences between major and minor tonic triads with solfege. 2. Read musical examples from outside sources such as piano music, vocal scores, chamber music, etc.. Be prepared to perform solfege with the opening melody in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Interpret appropriate rhythms from class sources (such as the text, original compositions and class handouts) by chanting, clapping or other method. 2. Demonstrate understanding of intermediate level songs by sight singing. 3. Create a two-part rhythmic duet for the class to perform. 4. Write two critical reviews of live concerts and/or recitals focusing on the use of topics studied in class. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Select a melodic example from music literature, for example an art song of Brahms or song from a Broadway musical and sing it in appropriate solfege, scale degrees or other method of meaningful syllables.
