MUS-1740 Musicianship II

Credits 1
This course continues from Musicianship I, focusing on sight-singing and dictation techniques of diatonic melodies of increased levels of difficulty. Students are introduced to melodies that utilize skips outlining a V7 chord as well as dissonant melodic skips above or below a tonic pitch. Students continue to develop their working memory and are introduced to 8-measure melodic dictation. Students transcribe melodies that may include stepwise motion as well as skips outlining tonic and V7 chords in both the major and minor mode using rhythms at the subdivision level of the 16^th note in simple and compound meters. Students are also introduced to rhythmic syncopation and continue to develop techniques for harmonic dictation, including inner voices of an SATB setting.
Prerequisite(s): MUS-1720 with a grade of C or higher.
