By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Demonstrate further proficiency sight-reading, improvising, and transcribing rhythms that include asymmetrical and changing meters.
Sight sing and improvise melodies that incorporate chromatic mediants over a given chord progression.
Transcribe chord progressions, melodies, and outer voices in examples from the repertoire that include chromatic mediants.
Melodic Sight-Reading (Chromatic Modulation & Altered Chords, cont.): Continued work with chromatic modulation and altered chords. See exercises in Lesson 5-3 and 5-4.
Rhythm Sight Reading (Changing/Asymmetrical Meter, cont.): Continued work with changing and asymmetrical meters. See additional exercises in Lesson 5-3.
Rhythmic Improvisation (Asymmetrical & Changing Meter, cont.): Continue work improvising with asymmetrical and changing meters. See exercises in Lesson 5-1 and 5-2.
Melodic Improvisation (Chromatic Mediants): Compose chord progressions that incorporate chromatic mediants. Improvise a melody over each progression. Two sample progressions are provided below:
