A course in musical rudiments. Through a variety of exercises and projects, students will develop an understanding of pitch, scales, triads, rhythm, meter, and notation-materials that form the foundation of Western art and popular musics. Students by the end of the course will have begun the study of basic four-part harmony. The course has a musicianship component: students attend an aural skills and sight-singing lab in addition to lectures. Format: 2 weekly lectures and a weekly lab meeting. Evaluation will be based on quizzes and a final exam. No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 15 (expected: 15). Preference based on music reading proficiency.
