MUSC 220 - Fundamentals of Music Theory

Tuesdays 12:30-1:45, Wednesdays 1:00-1:50, Fridays 12:30-1:45
Class 3Friday, January 16

In this session we worked more on the notes on the piano, our whole and half steps, and we started building our first major scales with the WWHWWWH pattern.

I gave out a new homework, so now there's three things in process:

Assignment #1: Student Survey

Our first homework task is to fill out a short survey that asks you about your musical experiences, what you like, and where you get your music from.

This is the first homework assignment! If you complete it before class on Tuesday, 1/20 you get an automatic check- plus (100). You can do it later, as well, but it's only a check (92).

Homework #2: Rhythms in 4/4

Our first worksheet asks you to put a "count" on some rhythms and make some rhythms from a count. All of this is covered on pp. 6-10 in our textbook.

This one is due on Tues, Jan 20.

Homework #3: Piano Notes, Whole Steps, and Half Steps

This worksheet quizzes you about the notes on the piano, and it asks you to count out two small distances (half steps vs. whole steps).

Due date is Fri Jan 23.

It's a true winter weekend
