What I’m thinking

Successes:

• doing well with your chorale projects; yay you!
• know the basic rules when it comes to part writing and how to resolve “sensitive” tones (LT, 7th)
• know some chord progressions
• write good melodies
• getting more facile with RN analysis
• some knowledge of basic form

Not so successful:

• on-line components; some of you have been great and keeping up with journaling, but I haven’t been good enough about following through; those of you who have consistently journaled this semester will be rewarded!
• texture - what’s the big mystery?
• NHTs - you’re pretty good about recognizing them, but you don’t seem to know what they are
• modulation & secondary dominants - work in progress; hopefully you’ll feel confident by the final exam!!!

We’ll spend most of next week reviewing and refining, as long as you all come to class prepared and ready to be active participants in the classroom.
