Aural Theory 1 is for students with some musical background who wish to develop their ear training and musicianship skills. The course is designed to prepare students to be successful as music or music education majors, or to hone musicianship skills for non majors. Individual and group classroom activities and computer-assisted drills will be used to develop the student's aural skills with rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic materials. A working knowledge of musical symbols and notation is required. Students are encouraged to enroll simultaneously in MUS 221 (Music Theory 1).
