MUS 212 - Ear Training and Sight Singing III

Building on the foundations established in MUS 112 and MUS 113, this course expands and deepens students' aural, analytical, and practical musicianship skills. Emphasis is placed on recognizing, performing, and notating more complex harmonic progressions-including mode mixture, tonicizations, and modulations-as well as advanced rhythmic patterns involving mixed meters, hemiolas, and super-divided beats. Students will explore formal structures, contrapuntal techniques, and variation forms while continuing to develop pedagogical approaches using solfège, Kodály/Orff hand signs, and conducting. Collaborative ensemble work supports the integration of these skills in applied musical contexts, preparing students for more sophisticated musical analysis and performance.
