| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Continue to develop the ability to recognize melodic and harmonic elements in a piece of music of the common practice period. Communication Outcome, Personal Development Outcome, Transisitonal Strategy | ||||||||
| 2. | Participate in structured class activities requiring the completion of four voice partwriting examples which contain modulations and secondary dominant chords using figured bass symbols and proper voice leading techniques. Communication Outcome, Active Learning Strategy, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 3. | Continue to develop the ability to identify chords by Roman numeral and inversion, in examples of music that contain chords outside the key. Communication Outcome | ||||||||
| 4. | Participate in listening activities in which they interpret formal structure of complete pieces of music. Communication Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference Pellissippi State's goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||
