First Final

December 04 2006

Well, I took my first final today....

I would be surprised if I made under a 95%.

I owned it..... pretty hardcore. It was music theory. I had to know:




  • terminology-things like "alla breve" and "ana crusis" and
    stuff like that... there's a lot of it.


  • Scale formulas- For Major, Minor, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor, Pentatonic
    (both forms), Chromatic, and Whole Tone scales.


  • I had to know note names in solefedge (Do, Re, Me) and know them as
    "tonic, supertonic, subdominant, mediant" and stuff like that.


  • Intervals-I had to be able to listen to notes and tell what interval was being
    played. Some were played at the same time and some at separate times. The
    intervals are like "Minor 3rd, Augmented 4th" and stuff like that.
    There are 13 intervals that I have to know by ear.


  • Chords- I have to know how to construct chords, and identify them by hearing
    them. The chords are stuff like "Augmented, Diminished, Major, and
    Minor".


  • Dictation-My teacher played a song and I had to write what notes were in it,
    along with the rhythm that was played just by hearing it twice.
I win! Now I have a paper to finish, Guitar juries, and take one more final. Then my semester is over.
