Course Overview:
A continuation of Principles I, the theoretical study in MU 012
introduces the student to the elements of more advanced harmonic
writing and analysis skills. The accompanying laboratory course
will be utilized to further develop sight singing skills, rhythmic
perception, aural proficiency, and more integration of computers
with the conventional study of music.
Grading and Academic Policy:
Students are required to attend all lectures and labs. No more
than three absences for M-W-F classes and two for T-Th classes
will be accepted without penalty. Homework is mandatory and must
be delivered by the due date in order to receive full credit.
Tests are comprehensive by nature and there will be no make-up
tests offered except for extenuating circumstances. All missing
assignments and unexcused absences will force a subtraction of
one point for each infraction from the mean average of the test
scores at the end of the semester. The lab carries the same assignment
and absence policy which is then subtracted from the mean average
of sightsinging and dictation test scores.
