  • NEW! Error detection Free Response Question #5 - woohoo!

    1. Carefully read the Guidelines for Error Detection and Definitions of Common Voice-Leading Errors linked below. This is a review of rules we have learned...please pay close attention to what you read!

    2. Print the Error Detection Worksheet (or carefully copy the provided examples onto staff paper).

    3. Examine each sample thoughtfully for part-writing errors as described in the Guidelines document.

    4. Circle or box each error and assign it a number. On a separate piece of paper, identify what type of error has occurred for each of your findings (i.e., #1 parallel octaves/8ves; #2 - more than six leaps in the upper three voices combined, etc.).

  • Log into the Sightreading Factory and complete 2 sight-singing exercises (2 - one in major - simple time signature, one in harmonic minor - compound time signature). The exercises are going to become increasingly difficult, so take time to practice if you are struggling. Once completed, I will listen and send feeback by email or through the SRF comment section. Log the date and time completed on your digital learning log.

  • Watch the review videos for this week. Record the date and time that you viewed each video on the digital learning log (download below).
