MU 236
Musical Skills Lab II
A continuation of MU137°. MU236° facilitates the acquisition of the Musical Skills sequence-level objectives in
diatonic and chromatic music of increased complexity. Melodies will include stepwise motion in all diatonic seventh
chords and skips within the tonic and dominant triads, in the major and minor modes, in simple and compound
meters, including beat subdivisions and syncopation. Melodies with embellishing tones and those that tonicize or
modulate to the dominant or relative major are also included. Rhythmic exercises will include triplet subdivisions
and syncopation in simple and compound meters, polyrhythms (2:3), and simple meters with half-note beats
and compound meters with dotted- half-note beats.
Prerequisites: MU137°.
Notes: MU236 may be challenged for credit.
