MUSC 110 - Intro to Notated Music

Miguel Hall Room 207, Tuesdays and Fridays 11:00-12:15
Class 4Friday, September 04

On this date we talked about whole steps and half steps and we made our first scales. I gave out a new worksheet that explores this stuff. Lemme blog everything that is currently in process.

Homework #1: Survey

Our first homework assignment is actually an online survey where you tell me about your musical background, what you are into, and where you get your music. It's pretty short, five minutes at the most.

I set this one up so that it is due on Friday, Sept 11. Still waiting for two people to do it!

Assignment #4: The Piano Keys

Homework #4 asks you to name a bunch of piano keys, easy peasy. You can consult pp. 15-18 in our textbook for help on where the notes are, and pp. 21-23 on the sharps and flats.

This assignment is due on Tuesday, Sept 8.

Worksheet #5: More treble practice, whole/half steps, and a scale

Homework #5 is a mixed bag. It starts with a little more treble clef practice in the manner of Level Up. Then it asks you to judge a few whole steps and half steps on the piano, which is covered on pp. 19-20 of our textbook. Last but not least it has you string a bunch of those steps together to make a major scale, as is explained on pp. 27-28.

This one is due on Friday, Sept 11.
