Musicianship I

Foundational musicianship skills are developed with a focus on graduated exercises to develop aural skills, such as sight-singing melodies in treble and bass clefs, identifying intervals, chords, and basic harmonic progressions; and rhythmic reading. Students will learn notation and basic dictation for pop, jazz, and folk music styles. Students will also be introduced to basic improvisation and composition techniques with these genres. Prerequisites: MU102A or MU102B.
