MUS 225 - Aural Skills V 1 Credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): MUS 224
(MUS 224 , MUS225, and MUS 226 must be taken in sequence, unless Instructor permission is granted.)
Corequisite(s): MUS 212
(This Aural Skills sequence should be taken concurrently with the Music Theory sequence of MUS 211 , MUS 212 , and MUS 213 .)
Course Description: Aural Skills V is a continuation of MUS 224 and serves to augment the subject matter in MUS 212 with an emphasis on musical aural/oral training. Students develop their ability to hear, identify, and sing intervallic, tertial, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic patterns in music. Through in-class study and drill, combined with out-of-class computer-assisted learning and self-guided practice, students will develop skills in sight singing and aural transcription with a focus on harmonies through secondary dominant and leading tone. This course is designed to be taken with MUS 212 concurrently.
Course Level: Lower Division Collegiate
