Course description
The course is based on the first year's course and will focus on developing skills to cope with learning new musical material and on improving the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic and "internal hearing" skills. This will be accomplished through singing, recognizing and writing of scales, clusters and various types of chords such as seventh chords and their inversions, chords built on fourths and fifths and harmonic progressions.
In addition, the course will focus on developing sight singing – {prima vista} of tonal and a-tonal music. Emphasis will be put on developing immediate and accurate response to singing difficult musical passages, as well as on improving eye-ear connection, intonation and musical memory.
