Aural Skills I is a musicianship development course designed to follow the content of MUSC 150  and enhance a student’s musicality through the recognition, mental imaging and vocal performance of a broad range of musical structures. The course begins with the fundamentals of tonal music, scales, rhythmic patterns, intervals, modes, triads, seventh chords, cadences, and chord patterns. Students are trained to recognize, notate and vocally reproduce these elements. The course utilizes sight singing in scale degrees and solfege syllables, harmonic and melodic dictation, transcription, and some keyboard familiarization. A/E Only. Offered every Fall semester.
