This subject follows on from Applied Aural Musicianship 1. It develops musical hearing, focusing on the role of context in determining harmonic function, and the overtone series as a foundation for musical syntax and timbral qualities.
Students determine their own pathways, concentrating on skills most relevant to their individual needs and interests.
Learning activities may include specialized keyboard lab sessions, lectures, tutorial workshops, and varied online experiences through which students will be supported in developing their overall aural abilities.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- read and sing diatonic melodies, simple countermelodies and bass lines using a variety of naming systems and solmizations;
- read and perform simple rhythmic patterns, including various compound times and basic meter changes using both non-pitched means and rhythm solmization;
- memorize, transcribe, and analyze simple melodies, rhythms, and chord progressions;
- recognize specific large-scale harmonic structures and acoustic characteristics.
