Aural Musicianship 2

1.5 credits

In this second course in the aural musicianship sequence, students will complete an aural understanding of diatonic harmony, expand improvisatory capabilities, learn to apprehend local chromaticism and simple modulations, and master most of the rhythmic gestures necessary for performance of Renaissance and common-practice European art music. Tenor clef will be introduced with emphasis on rapid and accurate reading and associated transpositions. All harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and formal procedures build on concepts and methods established in TH 115.
