By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Sight read, improvise, and transcribe rhythms that incorporate the dotted 8th-16th-8th pattern in compound time.
Sight sing and improvise melodies that incorporate skips in V7 over a given chord progression in major or minor.
Transcribe chord progressions and melodies in examples from the repertoire that incorporate root-position V7 chords in major and minor.
Aurally identify chords as major, minor, or Mm7 and describe strategies for distinguishing between the different chord qualities.

Improvisation
Improvisation
Melodic Improvisation over I and V7: See the directions for melodic improvisation in Unit 2-3 here.
Chord Grid (I - V7 - I - V)
Chord Player: I - V7 - I - V (in D major, 3/4) or i - V7 - i - V (in B minor)
Experiment with different keys, styles, and instruments using the settings at the top.
Experiment with different progressions. Try I - I - V7 - I (in AbM), or i - i - V7 - V7 (in Gm)
Alternatively, try one of the other online chord players like Musicca Chord Player or ChordChord.
Rhythmic Improvisation: 16ths in Compound with Dotted 8ths: Select a time signature (6/8, 9/8, or 12/8), then improvise rhythms using the rhythm grid below. Use the rhythmic syllables specified by your instructor and conduct while you improvise. For additional practice, take turns doing call and response. Improvise one measure using a neutral syllable; the class responds by singing back the rhythm with correct rhythmic syllables to ID the rhythm.
Sight Reading
Sight Reading
Melodic Sight-Reading: Practice sight-singing melodies that incorporate skips between tonic and dominant chords in major and minor.
Rhythm Sight-Reading: Sight-reading with rhythms that incorporate the dotted 8th-16th-8th pattern in compound time. See the section "Dotted 8th-16th Patterns"
Aural ID and Dictation
Aural ID and Dictation
Aural Anthology (Transcription with I & V): Continued practice transcribing tonic and dominant harmony.
Aural Anthology (Cadences): Continued practice with cadence ID.
Theory Anthology: Use the music theory anthology to find examples that incorporate root-position V7 chords for dictation practice. See the cadence section for additional aural ID practice.
