By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Demonstrate further proficiency in sight reading, improvising, and transcribing rhythms that incorporate asymmetrical meters, including 5/8, 5/4, 7/8, and 7/4.
Demonstrate further proficiency in sight sight-singing and improvising melodies that modulate to a closely-related key.
Demonstrate further proficiency in transcribing chord progressions and melodies that include a modulation to a closely-related key in examples from the repertoire

Closely-Related Keys
Closely-related keys are those within 1 sharp/flat of the original key. On the circle of 5ths, this is the relative major/minor and the major and minor key on the left and right on the circle.
In-Class Activities
In-Class Activities
Improvisation
Improvisation
Rhythmic Improvisation (Asymmetrical Meters): Continued practice from Unit 7-2.
Melodic Improvisation (Modulation): Continued practice with the activity from Unit 7-2.
Sight Reading
Sight Reading
Melodic Sight-Reading: Continue practice sight-reading melodies in the section "Closely-Related Keys."
Rhythm Sight-Reading: Continue practice sight-reading rhythms in the sections "5/8 and 5/4 Meters" and "Other Meters with Unequal Beats."
Aural ID and Dictation
Aural ID and Dictation
Continued practice listening for and transcribing examples that include modulation to closely-related keys:
Aural Anthology: Listen to song selections in the section "Modulation ID" that modulate to closely-related keys. Identify where the modulation occurs (noting lyrics or time points in the recording) and to which key the passage modulates.
Theory Anthology: Listen to examples in the section "Pivot Chord Modulation (Closely-Related Keys)" that modulate to closely-related keys. Begin by identifying to which key the passage modulates. Then, transcribe the melody, bassline, and Roman numerals. Indicate the pivot chord in your chord notation.
