Synopsis

Melody and Rhythm is a two-year course of study in sight singing and aural skills. This is Semester 3 of 4 (Chapters 13 through 18). Semester 3 is compatible with all systems of pitch and rhythm pedagogy. Rhythmically, Semester 3 covers irregular rhythms (such as quadruplets and three against four) in Chapter 13, changing meters in Chapter 15, and odd and composite meters (such as 7/4 and 2+2+3/8) in Chapter 17. Melodically, Semester 3 begins with basic key relationships (such as modulating to the parallel major/minor and to the dominant) in Chapter 14, more key relationships (such as modulating to the subdominant, supertonic, submediant, and mediant) in Chapter 16, and modes of the major scale in Chapter 18.
