About This Activity
Description
Music Theory Level II builds upon the skills, activities, and concepts of Level I. Students continue to develop their reading skills with more challenging melodies in treble and bass clefs and extend the scope of their literacy by learning to read alto clef. Classes in Level II stress the skills and concepts required to quickly identify, recognize, and perform the following intervals; qualities and functions of triads within a key; fundamentals of figured bass including root position, inversions, and dominant seventh chords; non-harmonic tones, including passing tones, neighbor tones, suspensions; cadences, including authentic, half, and deceptive; and modulation. Whenever appropriate analysis work is based on pieces students are studying in their lessons.
