These melodies are transpositions to a singable range of three exercises in this section. In all ear training, learn to remember and recognize what you have seen and performed before. ample Melody ample Melody ð ð ð ² ² ². 0 ð 4 ample Melody 3 ý ý í ý ð ý Each exercise consists of a short melody.. Create an aural image of the melody. After hearing each melody, immediately try to sing it in its entirety in your mind.. Establish an understanding of the melody s structure. After you can hear the melody in your mind, analyze the melody with solfeggio syllables or numbers. 3. Do not notate the melody until you have completed these two steps. 4. Notate each melody on the appropriate staff below. The first notes are given for the melodies in this section.. ². / 0 / 0 Copyright 005 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Write the second note of the interval on the staff.. Place the name of the interval (P4, m, M3, and so on) in the blank provided. 3. To help you recognize intervals, think of them as parts of a scale: P5 = tonic to 5th scale degree of a major or minor scale P4 = tonic to 4th scale degree of a major or minor scale M3 = tonic to 3rd scale degree of a major scale m3 = tonic to 3rd scale degree of a minor scale M = tonic to nd scale degree of a major or minor scale m = leading tone to tonic of a major or harmonic minor scale The second note is above the given note (R) ² ² ² ² The second note is below the given tone. ² Ear Training

This model and its embellishments occur very often in Baroque period music. Listen for these in recordings and concerts. Before coming to class play and sing both parts of the model. Your instructor may choose to review this structure in class.. Your instructor will play the structure followed by embellishments of that structure. Notice how the thirds are embellished with additional notes and rhythms in each voice. 3. Memorize the sound of each embellishment and repeat its sound in your mind. Write the model s embellishments on the numbered staves provided. 4. As you proceed through this section, the embellishments will be more elaborate. Keep the structure in mind as you listen to each example. Try to hear that structure through the embellishments.

Outside of class, play the following triads and match the pitches of the bass notes by singing them in your own voice range. ² ² ²² ² Practice singing the root of chords that you hear in your daily listening.. In this section, listen to the four triads in each of these exercises. In class, your instructor may wish to combine certain exercises to challenge you with longer chord progressions. All examples are in the key of A major. Be sure to keep the tonic pitch (A) well in mind. 3. In examples 5, all chords are in root position. It will help you to isolate and identify the scale degree (by number or syllables) of each bass note by singing it. These examples use the following chords: ² ² ² I IV V 4. Write the roman numeral analysis in the blanks for the chords played. Notate each musical example as requested by your instructor. In examples 5 the number or syllable used to identify the bass can be translated to a roman numeral as shown below: cale Number yllable Roman Numeral or do = I 4 or fa = IV 5 or sol = V Ear Training

Your instructor will play each of these four models. Listen carefully and try to distinguish each one from another. A. B. C. D. V I V I I V I V I V IV I I V I IV 3. Your instructor will play an example ( 4) from music literature. The music literature example contains the same chords and same inversion as one of the four models above. 4. When you have matched the literature example with one of the four sets of chords (A D), place the letter in the appropriate blank below When the first four examples are completed, use the same procedure for models E H. These (E, F, G, H) are the four models. Pair them up with the examples from literature (5, 6, 7, 8). E. F. G. H. V I V I IV I V I I IV V I V IV V I 5. (R) 6. (R) 7. (R) 8.

Nonharmonic tones played in this section are: Unaccented passing tone Accented passing tone Unaccented neighboring tone Accented neighboring tone Escape tone uspension (9 8, 7 6, 4 3, 3) Anticipation 4 Ear Training

9 ben36754_un0.qxd 4/9/04 0:5 Page 5 NAME DATE ECTION. Definitions of the nonharmonic tones played in this section are available in the Glossary (or consult your theory text). 3. A sound pattern is a three-note series of pitches, with the nonharmonic tone in the middle. The sound pattern of each nonharmonic tone is especially helpful in ear training. 4. ome items that are common to all of the above listed nonharmonic tones: a. The nonharmonic tone is always dissonant (9th, 7th, 4th, nd). b. The nonharmonic tone is always the middle note of the pattern. c. The two notes on either side are always consonant. 5. One nonharmonic tone can be distinguished from another by the pattern of movement by ()tep, by (L)eap, or by (R)epeated pitch. The pattern of movement helps to distinguish among all of the above listed nonharmonic tones except the passing tone and the neighboring tone. 6. Passing tones and neighboring tones can be distinguished only by the direction of the movement. passing tone = down-down or up-up neighboring tone = up-down or down-up 7. The following example illustrates nonharmonic tones in a one-voice setting. Note that in all instances () the nonharmonic tone is dissonant, () the nonharmonic tone is the middle note, and (3) the first and third notes are consonant. C = Consonance D = Dissonance Passing tone C D or = tep C or C D C C Neighboring tone D C C D C Escape tone C D C L L = Leap uspension C D C R R = Repeat Anticipation C D C R 8. Practice playing these patterns until you know them thoroughly. 9. Before playing the two-voice illustrations, your instructor will play randomly some of the one-voice examples to help acquaint you with the distinguishing characteristics of each nonharmonic tone type.
