MUSC 2276

Musicianship: skills for all musicians is a core requirement course for all music students. The course builds from the concepts learned in MUSC 1277 and combines aural skills (ear training, sight-singing, rhythmic/harmonic/melodic dictation) and keyboard skills. The course places equal emphasis on learning to sight-sing and sight-read exercises on a keyboard instrument as well as writing dictation. Topics include singing in major/minor keys and modes using moveable Do, alternative notation systems, playing one-two-three and four-part keyboard exercises, singing and playing scales and chords (including inversions), as well as reading pop and lead sheet notations.
