Before 8am on Thursday, August 29, please do the following:

• Review the discussion on first-species counterpoint from Wednesday’s class on Piazza.
• Read the resource on Composing a first-species counterpoint, and watch the video at the end.
• Log on to Learning Catalytics, use session ID 632054, and take the short quiz.

Before 8am on Tuesday, Sept. 3, please:

• Make a 1–2 minute video introducing yourself: Who are you? Where are you from? What are your goals? (in life, and in this class) This will help me get to know you better. Upload to Google Drive, and share with me.

Notes on the quiz:
All quizzes in this course are open-note. You are also encouraged to talk to each other, in person or on Piazza, as you work on this quiz. However, be sure that the short-answer responses are 1) short (!), and 2) in your own words.

Since we have a day off on Monday, be sure to review the reading and your quiz responses (and any feedback I send you) before class next Wednesday.

Be sure to bring manuscript paper and a pencil, or a laptop/tablet with music notation software, to class on Wednesday. (I highly recommend MuseScore, NoteFlight, and Lilypond—all free, all with different strengths.)

A 1-minute video domonstrating uploading and sharing files on Google Drive can be found here. If you have any difficulties, please make use of Piazza to ask questions of me and/or your classmates. CU officially supports GDrive, so the student help desk should also be able to help.

If you have any questions, please ask them on Piazza.
