General Suggestions for Daily Class Study:
TEXTBOOK and LECTURE NOTES
- Do the assigned reading/listening
BEFORE you come to each class
- Review the online notes for each week of lecture
- Be sure to look at the Powerpoint lecture links in the notes
REPERTOIRE (online audio examples)
- Listen to the assigned pieces WITH THE
TEXTBOOK/MUSIC GUIDE IN FRONT OF YOU
- Whenever possible, compare each example with a similar type of piece that we
have previously studied
TERMS
- Know the definitions of critical terms
(those specified in the class notes/lectures and especially those that are on
the E-Workbook assignments)
COMPOSERS
- Know each composer we have taken the time
to study in class, and know specific pieces I have indicated in
class/notes/anthology that exemplify their style.
- In general, know what types of works each
of them composed.
- Know what COUNTRY (Italian, French, German,
English) and style period each represents (early baroque, mid Baroque, late
Baroque)--the timeline graphs I show during lecture and put in the online notes/Powerpoint
links are very helpful in this regard.
- You should be able to match each major
composer to a short description of their career/works/major breakthroughs
LISTENING QUIZZES
- Be sure to carefully review the online
Study Guide for each quiz (see links at the top of this page)
- You should practice being able to identify
any of the assigned pieces. Be
able to identify the composer, title, general style country/era, genre, and any
representative term that relates specifically to that piece. You will be given
more specifics on the Listening Quiz reviews.
EXAMS
- On exams, you will be doing all of the
above (except Listening Identification). The final exam may also include some
type of essay or written section.
