Techniques of music listening developed through musical sight-singing,
dictation, and aural analysis. Topics are coordinated with the co-requisite
course, Theory & Practice II: Popular Music. This course builds on skills
developed in Aural Skills I. Students learn techniques for critically
listening to, analyzing, and notating musical elements of instrumentation,
sound production and timbre, advanced rhythm and meter, loops and harmonic
chord schemas, advanced diatonic harmony, and basic chromatic harmony
including secondary functions and modulation.
