Location: Center Campus

Contact Hours: 2
Billable Contact Hours: 2
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to name, define, and identify the use of non‐harmonic tones.

Objectives:

  1. Name, define, identify, and write passing tones and neighbor tones with figured bass symbols.
  2. Name, define, identify, and write suspensions and retardations with figured bass symbols.
  3. Name, define, identify, and write appoggiaturas and escape tones with figured bass symbols.
  4. Name, define, identify, and write anticipations and pedals with figured bass symbols.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to name, define, and identify the leading‐tone triad and the supertonic triad.

Objectives:

  1. Name, define, identify, and write the diminished triad.
  2. Name, define, identify, and write the leading tone triad in a harmonic progression.
  3. Name, define, identify, and write the supertonic triad.
  4. Name, define, identify, and write the supertonic triad in a harmonic progression.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to name, define, and identify the submediant triad, the mediant triad, the dominant seventh chord, and the supertonic seventh chord.

Objectives:

  1. Name, define, identify, and write the subdominant triad in a harmonic progression.
  2. Name, define, identify, and write the mediant triad in a harmonic progression.
  3. Name, define, identify, and write the dominant seventh chord in a harmonic progression.
  4. Name, define, identify, and write the supertonic seventh chord in a harmonic progression.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to name, define, and identify secondary triad chords and elementary modulations.

Objectives:

  1. Name, define, identify, and write the secondary dominant chord.
  2. Name, define, identify, and write the secondary dominant chord in a harmonic progression.
  3. Name, define, identify, and write the modulation from a major key to its dominant major.
  4. Name, define, identify, and write the modulation from a minor key to its relative major.
