The students acquire a thorough grounding in Euro-American notation including reading movable clefs, notating moderately advanced rhythmic constructions, and writing a clear and efficient manuscript. They learn to transcribe one- and two-voice textures from oral dictation, to describe the scales and meters of the transcriptions, and to sing on sight and reproduce by ear scales, melodies and rhythms from many traditions. They also learn the conventional systems for naming and classifying intervals, chords and meters, and the basic vocabulary of music-theoretic discourse.
