Description

Melody and Rhythm is a two-year course of study in sight singing and aural skills. This is semester 2 of 4 (Chapters 7 through 12). Semester 2 is compatible with all systems of pitch and rhythm pedagogy. Rhythmically, the text covers subdivisions in compound meter in Chapter 7; triplets, two against three, and swing in Chapter 9; and different pulse values, such as half note pulse and dotted eighth note pulse, in Chapter 11. Melodically, Semester 2 begins by exploring larger diatonic skips in major and minor keys in Chapter 8, introducing alto and tenor clefs along the way. Then begins an extended exploration of chromaticism with chromatic ornaments in Chapter 10 and skips with chromatic tones in Chapter 12. Distinguishing features: High quality examples: 90 rhythms and 240 melodies; Wide range of styles and composers; Smooth pacing; Ample minor key material; Duets and canons for sing-play activities; Listening examples to ground concepts in music from popular culture; Examples with figured bass, harmonic analysis, and lead-sheet-style chord symbols; Jam sessions for group improvisation; Consistent structure for ease of use; Emphasis on music by women; Course Outline 7 Subdivisions in Compound Meter (rhythm) 7.1 Sixteenth Notes in Even Pairs 7.2 Subdivisions with Dotted Eighth Notes 7.3 Syncopated Eighth Notes 8 More Diatonic Skips (melody) 8.1 Fourths 8.2 Fifths 8.3 Sixths 8.4 Larger Skips 9 Mixing 2's and 3's (rhythm) 9.1 Triplets 9.2 Two Against Three 9.3 Swing 10 Chromatic Ornaments (melody) 10.1 Chromatic Lower Neighbors 10.2 Chromatic Upper Neighbors 10.3 Ascending Chromatic Passing Tones 10.4 Descending Chromatic Passing Tones 11 Different Pulse Values (rhythm) 11.1 Half and Dotted Half Note Pulse 11.2 Eighth and Dotted Eighth Note Pulse 11.3 Sub-Subdivisions 12 Skips with Chromatic Tones (melody) Skipping from Raised Degrees 12.2 Skipping to Raised Degrees 12.3 Skipping from Lowered Degrees 12.4 Skipping to Lowered Degrees
