MUSC 220 - Fundamentals of Music Theory

Hayden Hall, Room 105.
Tuesdays 12:30-1:45, Wednesdays 1:00-1:50, Fridays 12:30-1:45
Class 2Wednesday, January 15

This was our first "lab" class, which happens at 1:00 on Wednesdays. In this session we did some clef-reading, we practiced finding the notes on the piano, and we did some more rhythm stuff.

  • We did a few rhythms from the rhythmic anthology Parts A & B
  • We talked about the treble clef (as covered on pp. 2-3 in our theory book), and then practiced the first two levels in Level Up.
  • We talked about notes on the piano, sharps and flats, as covered in the theory book Chapters 4 and 6.

No new homework. I'll repost existing homework below.

Assignment #1: Student Survey

The next task is to fill out a short survey that asks you about your musical experiences, what you like, and where you get your music from.

This is the first homework assignment! If you complete it before class on Friday, Jan 24 you get an automatic check- plus (100). You can do it later, as well, but it's only a check (92).

Homework #2: Rhythms in 4/4

I'll give out our first worksheet on Tuesday. This one will be due on Tues, Jan 21.

To get started, take a look at pp. 6-9 in our theory anthology.

Ready to have some fun
