MUS 112 Ear Training and Sight Singing I

This course introduces sight-singing, rhythm-reading, and aural musicianship skills essential for developing comprehensive musical literacy. Students will learn to sing and transcribe stepwise and intervallic melodies using solfège, practice rhythm-reading in simple and compound meters, and explore harmonic elements such as triads and seventh chords. Emphasis is placed on aural identification, rhythmic precision, and ensemble collaboration. Students will begin to strengthen their ability to engage with music both analytically and expressively.
