MUSC 220 - Fundamentals of Music Theory

Miguel Hall, Room 207
Tuesdays 12:30-1:45, Wednesdays 1:00-1:50, Fridays 12:30-1:45
Class 16Tuesday, September 30

On this date we got into the slightly annoying world of intervals, studying what I call the "smaller ones" (see pp. 50-55 in the textbook.) Then we did a round of dictation. Homework #8 was due, I gave out a new #11, and logically it would follow that #9 and #10 are also in process.

Homework #9: Minor Scales and Key Sigs

Worksheet #9 asks you to make a bunch of minor scales (in the "natural minor" and "harmonic" flavors) and ID a few minor key signatures. All of this is covered on pp. 38-41 of the theory text.

This one is due on Friday, Oct 3.

Homework #10: Short Composition

Also for Friday we will write a short composition. I am talking REALLY short, like 15 seconds long. These guidelines provide more details about what I'm looking for - the primary objective is to notate something correctly and then play what you wrote.

This assignment is due Friday, Oct 3.

Worksheet #11: Intervals I (The "Small" Intervals)

Worksheet #11 asks you to ID a bunch of intervals that range from a minor second up to a perfect fifth. Such things are covered on pp. 50-55 of the theory textbook.

This worksheet is due on Tuesday, Oct 7.

Don't Forget About the Composition Assignment
