• Develop the ability to sing (both prepared and at sight) major, minor and medieval modes, from diatonic leaps through chromatically altered pitches using solfege syllables and Curwen hand signs.
• Develop the ability to perform rhythms in simple and compound meters through two levels of subdivision using the rhythm syllable system.
• Continue developing melodic, rhythmic, and intervallic dictation skills.
• Continue development of conducting patterns and skills.
• Begin the development of harmonic dictation skills including recognizing triad qualities and harmonic progressions.
• Continued development of structured improvisation using melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic patterns.

• Tests and quizzes must be taken with the rest of the class when they are given. Missed tests and quizzes cannot be made up (exception: a doctor's written excuse no later than 2 class periods following the missed test or quiz).
• In-Class Performance (solfege and rhythms) must be done on schedule; performance order will be determined randomly. Except as described below, missed performance opportunities cannot be made up, period.
• Homework Assignments are due at the beginning of class each Friday. A 10% penalty will be assessed for assignments turned in by the beginning of the next class period; no credit will be given for work submitted thereafter. Except as the Instructor may specify, all homework assignments must be completed using pencil only.If you must miss class because of an authorized school activity (e.g., ensemble performance), you are responsible to submit any assignment(s) due the day of your absence prior to your absence. In addition, you may make arrangements with the Instructor to do any in-class performance work you'll miss while away; you must make the arrangements well in advance, and you must do the performance prior to your absence.

Unfortunately, the MacGamut software offers no way for you to start at any particular level; therefore, you need to start at level 1 for each category. Since this is the third semester in the sequence, you'll have some additional work to catch up with your classmates. The positive issue in all this is that since you have the skill to have tested directly into Musicianship III, it should not be difficult–just a bit time-consuming–for you to complete the MacGamut work for the previous two semesters.

If you do not fulfill the Concert Attendance Requirement, you will receive an Incomplete for the "lab" portion of the course. In order to clear this Incomplete, you must attend 13 concerts (yes, all 13–not just the balance of concerts you didn't already attend) during the next semester. No concert attendance is held over to the next semester. Incompletes not cleared within 12 months are automatically converted to a F(Fail) by the University Admissions and Records Office.

On-Campus Concerts: Concert cards are collected at the door following most on-campus events. Look for the sign that states "Concert Cards Collected Here." No concert cards can be turned in after the event, not even to your musicianship teacher. Please do not ask. Forgetting your card(s) is not an excuse: you simply won't receive credit for that concert. So, plan ahead: bring a card–duplicate cards will not be available at the concert–and remember to turn it in at the conclusion of the concert.

Off-Campus Concerts: In order to receive credit for outside concert attendance, you must turn in a program and a ticket with your recital card to your musicianship Instructor within two weeks following the event.

Note: Concert Cards are not collected at some on-campus events; for those rare occasions, report your attendance as you would for an off-campus event.

The Bottom Line: Plan for concert attendance-it is part of this course and your grade.
