Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:

The instructor will provide a study of the fundamentals of music, including clefs, accidentals, enharmonics, and scales.  Students will study chordal construction, figured bass, Roman numerals, pop chord symbols, cadences, and non-chord tones via a combination of lectures, in-class exercises, collaboration, and out-of-class assignments. The instructor will monitor individual progress, and group experiences will be a feature of each class period. The instructor will hold weekly office hours to address further questions and student needs outside of class time. The final grade will be based on written assignments, projects, quizzes and exams, and a comprehensive final exam.

Students are expected to:

• Arrive to class on time
• Participate in discussions and be focused in class
• Complete all written assignments, quizzes and final exam.
• Turn in assignments on time

Make‑up work is the responsibility of the student, as covered in the instructor’s First Day Handout.
