Improvisation
Improvisation
Melodic Improvisation (Augmented Triads): Compose a progression that incorporates an augmented triad (or pick one from the anthology). Sing through arpeggiations of each of the chords, then improvise a simple melody over the chord progression without using a chord grid (but visualizing it while you sing). Create a backing track using an online chord player like Chord Player, Musicca Chord Player, or ChordChord to fit your progression. Be sure to discuss any chromatic scale degrees!
Sight Reading
Sight Reading
Melodic Sight-Reading: Continue sight-reading melodies in the section "Closely-Related Keys."
Rhythm Sight-Reading: Continue sight-reading rhythms in the section "Compound Meters."
Aural ID and Dictation
Aural ID and Dictation
Theory Anthology: Listen to examples in the section "Augmented Triads." Identify where in the phrase you hear the augmented triad (using measure numbers or lyrics). Select a few examples to transcribe; transcribe the melody and chords, using both Roman numerals and chord notation.
