Description

Music theory with aural and written analysis and sight-singing skills.

This course develops familiarity with basic harmonic practices in tonal music, and basic sight singing skills.

Aural recognition:  Given the tonic chord, aural recognition and identification of diatonic-chords and their inversions, using either figured bass or Roman numerals, individually, in a group of chords with a common pitch, and in a short progression for SATB, with a given treble line (write the bass line and identify the chords)

Writing:  Harmonisation of short SATB chorale phrases with given treble part, using correct part writing and chord spacing, with identification of chords under the stave using Roman numerals or figured bass symbols
Harmonisation of melodies with slower rate of chord change and including non-chord notes, by supplying bass line and chord indications

Analysis of printed music extracts: Analysis of a 2-stave piano texture or reduced orchestral score, identifying key areas and modulations, chords, non-chord notes, and important features which go hand in hand with harmony (eg, texture, dynamics, melodic climax points, etc)
