Mid-semester conferences (read carefully; directions included)

On Wednesday and Thursday each student will meet with me individually to discuss her/his progress in Music Theory and Ear Training classes. Music Theory classes will meet as regularly scheduled, but Ear Training class will not.

Your presence, preparation, and participation in the meeting will count toward the “PP&E” portion of your grade. I will grade this on a check-plus/check/check-minus/no-credit basis, just like a homework assignment or mini-quiz, but it will count TRIPLE (15 points instead of 5).

In preparation for your meeting, consider each of the questions below. The answers should be written in your shared Google Doc (the same one we use for hearing feedback). “The class” refers to both theory and ear training, so address both if you are in both classes. Have this done BEFORE your meeting (some of the 15 points mentioned in the previous paragraph will be specifically for these questions).

• How do you feel the class is going?

• In which area(s) of the class do you feel strong or competent?

• In which area(s) of the class do you still need significant improvement?

• What kind of progress have you made in the class?

• What can you do going forward to increase your degree of success?

• [For ear training only]: How do your self-assessments compare with your grades on Sakai?

Bring the following to the meeting:

Your notebook(s) from theory and ear-training classes

Any returned work (quizzes/exams, etc.)

Answer key for Practice Midterm

For a small bonus on the midterm, complete the following tasks:

1. Do the remaining two practice exercises.  You can find audio files under "Resources" in Sakai. Pay attention to the number of playings given on the page.

 

2. Check the answer key below (click "Read more"). Mark any errors in a contrasting color, and write a self-assessment/suggestions for improvement. Hand in on Friday before the exam.

Videos about the supertonic triad

There are two videos introducing the Supertonic, the star of Chapter 5: part 1 and part 2. These follow up on what we did in class today (analyzing the Beethoven Trio and Haydn String Quartet excerpts).

Audio of textbook examples 5.2 a, b, c, d (p. 175).

Recordings for excerpts on "Supertonic" handout

Mozart, String Quartet K. 516, iv

Beethoven, Trio WoO 37, ii, mm. 1-15

Beethoven, Sonata for Violin and Piano, op. 30/2, ii, mm. 1-4

Haydn, String Quartet in E-flat Major, op. 76 no. 6, mvt. 4, mm. 1-4

Tchaikovsky, Symphony no. 3 in D Major, op. 29, mvt. 2, mm. 1-4
Why is this unusual?

____________________________________________________________

Grieg, Lyric Piece, op. 71 no. 4 (“Waldesstille”/“Peace of the Woods”), mm. 1-11
This piece is even more unusual than the Tchaikovsky. The lowest voice of the texture has a tonic pedal [please pardon the previous typo, which I have now corrected] for most of the excerpt, which makes it challenging to figure out the chords.
