Third in a series of four courses, this course continues to develop the students aural perception of intervals, 7th chords with tensions, common melodic patterns, harmonic progressions and rhythmic patterns. Areas of exploration and focus include: Secondary and Substitute Dominants, Related II's, Modal Interchange, Diminished Chord patterns and Minor Key progressions and melodies. Rhythmic studies will include 2/8, 3/8, 6/8, 12/8, cut time, and 5/4 time signatures. The rhythmic devices explored in Ear Training II will continue to be developed, with additional attention given to syncopated 16th note practices. Students will demonstrate their aural skills through musical dictation, sight-singing, and conducting.
