The class plan for Tuesday, February 13 included:

1.  Pentachord exercise in major mode (sing on numbers)

Keep in mind the type of triad that occurs naturally on each scale degree in major (I, ii, iii, IV, etc.)

 

2.  Canons in major (Krueger, 199)

Canon melody sung alone = monophonic texture

Canon sung in "parts" = polyphonic texture

 

3.  Minor mode melodic 3rds exercise (1-2-3, 2-3-4, 3-4-5, etc.)

Practice in natural and harmonic minor modes

This should lead to proficiency in the minor mode pentachord exercises (Krueger), so if you have trouble with the pentachords, start with THIS exercise

 

4.  Canons in harmonic minor (Krueger, 215-217)
