.
LIBRARY TEST
Students are required to attend a library training session at the start of the course which is focussed on research in music.  In the course of this you will be given a test to complete independently to demonstrate familiarity with music resources in the library.

IN-CLASS TESTS
Each test involves a mixture of aural recognition of a range extracts (each played twice) in terms of genre, period, and characteristic stylistic traits, and analytical comments on one or more score extracts.  Examples will be drawn from works studied in the preceding half semester.

WRITTEN WORK
There are two written assignments each related to the work covered in each half of the semester based on the stylistic analysis covered in class and on students’ own research.

Notes

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This course covers a great deal of material in a short time.  It is vital that students listen to and study the set works continuously during the course.  Last-minute cramming is not an option.  The course also involves studying scores.  Familiarity with music notation is important.
