Requirements

  • Students must know how to read music on the treble clef before taking this course, in particular pitches.
  • In a perfect world, students should have access to a keyboard, piano, or keyboard app on their computer or phone. It is possible to use another instrument for reference, but a keyboard (even a phone app keyboard) is preferable because all the notes on a keyboard are laid out sequentially.
  • Students should know that “enharmonic” refers to notes, keys , or scales that sound the same but are written different. For instance, C# and Db notes sound the same. They are referred to by different names based on key.
  • Students should know that a “half step” is the distance between one note and the very next adjacent note. The distance between an “A” and an “A#” is one half step. A “whole step” is equal to two half steps.
