No set texts, but plenty for reference in School of Music and Central library. Worksheets for the weekly classes will be provided as handouts.
It is essential to have an A4 loose-leaf folder to file the worksheets for keyboard. It should have a hard cover and be able to stay open flat whilst positioned vertically on the keyboard music desk (like a music score). WORKLOAD As usual this depends on students’ existing abilities. Those who have taken MUSI 171 and 172 will already have done some aural and keyboard work, but there are some new skills to be mastered in this course. As a guide, in preparation for each week’s class you should budget time to: 1. prepare the given keyboard score, and score for error identification and correction 2. practise the other aural skillsTypically this could require 2-3 hours work per week in addition to the two class hours.
The following shows how to translate grades to numerical scores:A+ 90–100; A 85–89; A- 80–84; B+ 75–79; B 70–74; B- 65–69; C+ 60–64; C 55–59; C- 50–54; D 40–49; E 0–39In a course at 100- or 200-level examiners may grant restricted credit (R) which will be equivalent to a pass for all purposes except as a prerequisite.
All items of assessment must be submitted by the due date and time. In the case of illness or critical circumstance which might make it impossible for an item to be submitted in time, contact must be made with the Course Coordinator before the due date and application made for an extension of time. The application must explain the circumstances of the delay, and any extension will be at the discretion of the Course Coordinator.
All essay and assignment material must be firmly secured (stapled, or bound in a folder), and contain on the front page or cover the following information: Student name, Course number, Lecturer. Unless the class is instructed to the contrary, the assignment should be posted in the appropriate box at the School of Music counter by the due date.
