| Class 2 | Wednesday, August 27 |
This was the day that we had to move to another room to accommodate the Law & Order SVU filming. Big thanks to everyone for being patient and flexible about this - I'm glad we managed to have a somewhat regular class!
We reviewed some rhythmic details, including the "grasshopper" and "telephone" combinations of eighth notes and sixteenths (see p. 10 in the theory book). We practiced reading some treble clef (using Level Up) and we read some simple melodies, singing them with the solfège syllables.
There are two homework tasks that are due on Tuesday, Sept 2.
Assignment #1: Student Survey
Please fill out a brief survey about your experiences, likes, and where you get your music. This is our first official homework assignment. If you fill it out before class on Tuesday, Sept 2 you get an automatic 100, and you can complete it later than that for a 92.
Assignment #2: Rhythms in 4/4
Homework #2 asks you to add a "count" to some rhythms and notate some rhythms from a count. We will discuss this in our first session and it is also covered on pp. 6-10 of our theory textbook.
Due date is Tuesday, Sept 2.
