Introduction
Music Materials 1 introduces students to the materials of tonal music through the study of diatonic harmony, reading skills and aural skills. Students will develop fluency in notation and principles of pitch and rhythmic organisation through reading and written exercises. Contextual features of musical style will be introduced through the study of works in the literature. Students will develop an understanding of the correlation between written notation and aural awareness, through exercises in sightâreading, dictation and identification of musical elements.
