2 Daily Routine Music Listening We better understand music as a whole when we become familiar with the varied genres and styles of music that are a part of our western and non-western musical history, culture and experience. We will process our listening through one of these two activities. 1. Guided Analysis Students will listen to a music selection with a listening guide to fill out. Items to consider will include: Instruments (forces) used, key, tempo, form, era, composer, musical and historical importance 2. Creative Writing Response Students will write a free form response. This may take the form of a short story that reflects the mood of the musical work, or a description of the music as used for a film score, or simply free association writing. 2. Students are evaluated for completion and content level (see grading rubric) Solfege Singing Students will sing intervals, scales and chords as a part of ear training. 1. Students are evaluated for effort and accuracy (see grading rubric) Daily Dictation Students will write on music manuscript paper a 4 to 8 measure melody 2.

There will be a final composition project due at the end of the semester. The Final Project is a 24-measure tune harmonized in 4-parts using both treble and bass clefs. All compositions are expected to be clean, clear and easy to read. Sloppy copy is not acceptable. Students must do their own work 2. Students are evaluated for effort, adherence to directions and creativity and neatness. (see grading rubric) Unit Exams: Unit Exams cover material taught in our class sessions. Melodic and rhythmic dictation will be included at the start of these exams. Students performing less than a grade letter C will have the opportunity to retake the exam at a time that is convenient for both the student and instructor. Such exams are given outside regular class time and must be completed in one sitting. Final Exam: This is a comprehensive exam covering all aspects of the course. Music Theory Folder submission: This is handed in following your Final Exam on Feburary 1 st. Score will be based on completeness of dictations, Cornell Notes, class handouts, kept assignments/projects, quizzes, unit exams and any other document related to the course. Ethics: Working in groups and collaboration with classmates is encouraged. However, the work that YOU turn in must be YOUR OWN work. Cheating during examinations will not be tolerated and will be referred to the school s administration.
