MUS-101L Aural Skills I
The primary goal of aural skills is instant,
one-to-one mapping of sound to symbol and symbol
to sound. The musicianship training in the course
enables musicians to develop 'seeing ears' and
'hearing eyes' by emphasizing strategies for
accurate and expressive reading, improvising,
singing, and dictation using elementary rhythms
and diatonic pitch materials in treble, bass and
C clefs. Keyboard skills in the class require
sight reading, improvisation and technical
studies of all major and minor scales. Three
hours per week.
