Ch. 6 test

Bonjour a tous!

Don't forget that tomorrow we'll have our Ch. 6 test. I've left a 3-measure roman numeral progression on the board in the piano lab. Your test consists of providing a correct SATB root-position realization of the chords with good, smooth voice-leading. Once that is complete, you should arrange your composition for 4 instruments, at least 3 of which should be transposing. You may use your text book.

I'd also like you to turn in your homework that was assigned Tuesday. It was a 2-bar progression in D major: I - vi - IV - V- vi - IV - V - I.

Have fun with this and have a WONDERFUL WINTER BREAK!!!! See you February 28!

Transposition

Hey gang,

Homework due Friday 2/11 is p. 54 in your packet. On Friday we'll continue to practice transposition as well as part-writing. We will DEFINITELY have a Ch. 6 quiz over root-position part-writing as well as instrumental transposition next week. If you were/are going to be absent this week please keep this in mind. We really can't afford to spend any more time on this material. We have to hit progressions before our first PRACTICE AP EXAM which will be the week we get back from winter break.

Toodles,
