If you did not pass (receive a check mark) on either your interval or triad ID portions of Quiz 1, go to teoria.com, and click on Exercises “for mobile devices”. (Be sure to use the mobile exercises, so you can view/share your score without paying for an account!) Practice Intervals and/or Triads, according to what you need to practice. When you think you are up to where you need to be or have made significant progress, take a fresh pass through 10 or so examples, take a screenshot of your result, and send it to me.

Note that if you did not pass those sections on your quiz, this is not an optional assignment. Those who did pass those sections are welcome to do extra practice, of course. Interval and triad ID will be on the Unit II labs and quiz.

Bring Berkowitz and Kazez to class again on Wednesday.

*For Friday, Sept. 27, 8am, please record yourself singing the following melodic sequentials while conducting the appropriate meter:

• #1 in natural minor
• #2 in harmonic minor
• #3 in natural minor
• #4 in harmonic minor
• #7 in natural minor

Before Monday’s class, read the resource on meter and time signatures, focusing on compound meter. Bring the Kazez and Berkowitz books to class.

Wednesday, Sept. 25, will be the Cycle I listening quiz. It will contain the following items, and you will be allowed the number of listenings indicated below for each example:

• solfège patterns (2 hearings each, first and last pitch provided)
• interval ID (2 hearings each)
• triad ID (2 hearings each)
• rhythmic dictation (4 hearings, with count-off for the meter)
• melodic dictation (5 hearings, with a key-establishing cadence and count-off for the meter)

To prepare for this quiz, please review your labs and practice any areas that you struggled with (either lots of wrong answers, or too many listenings to get the correct ones). Interval and triad ID are most easily practiced on teoria.com. For melodic dictation, you can use the recorded melodies provided in the MUSI 1121 shared materials folder on Google Drive. There are no count-offs or key-establishing cadences, so you may want to provide yourself an extra hearing to get oriented. I have a key for these melodies, so you can stop by my office to review your progress.

Prepare for the Cycle I recitation on Monday, Sept. 23. (Sign up on my office door, N138, if you did not do so in class.)

Begin (or continue) work in preparation for the Cycle I recitation. It will take place on Monday, Sept. 23.

Bring staff paper to class on Wednesday for more dictation practice.
