Intro to pitch collections

Hey gang,

I'm grading the interval quizzes right now and will get the grades posted sometime tomorrow. Hope you did well... :)

We started working with other pitch collections today. ("Other" as in not major/minor scales.) Here are the ones we talked about:

Pentatonic (Major, Hirajoshi, Minor & Blues)
Whole tone
Octatonic

Your homework for Monday, Sept. 12, is to write two 2-bar melodies, each implementing a different pitch collection (from the list we talked about today).

We will resume with church modes on Monday.

Have a great weekend! And please - take a moment on Sunday to reflect on 9/11. You may have only been 7 or 8, but it was an event that changed the world we live in.
