Fundamentals of musical notation, performance and theory. The course is constructed to acquire both theoretical and applied skills. Topics include: learning to read and reproduce standard notation (staffs, clefs, notes, rhythms, dynamics, articulations) in sound; names, construction, notation and identification of musical scales, intervals and chords; basic keyboard and singing skills as applied to written music; and principles of melody and harmony as they relate to both theory and performance. The ability to read music is helpful but not assumed; this course may be recommended to students prior to enrollment in the Theory and Musicianship Sequence (MUS 215/216) for the Major or Minor in Music. Lecture and Lab sessions, Written Assignments, In-class participation and periodic examinations.
