MUS 113

This course continues to develop musicianship through aural skills, sight-singing, and rhythmic execution, with a focus on harmonic progression, melodic embellishment, and complex rhythmic structures. Students will engage with tonal and modal melodies, two-part counterpoint, and harmonic analysis involving diatonic seventh chords, tonicizations, and modulations. Rhythmic topics include compound meters, irregular subdivisions (duplets, triplets, and quadruplets), swung rhythms, and syncopation. Through solfège, hand signs, conducting patterns, and collaborative ensemble work, students will enhance their ability to analyze, transcribe, and perform extended harmonic and rhythmic structures across diverse musical styles.
