Ear Training for Non-Majors II

The second half of the non-majors ear training sequence shifts from single-line melodies into harmony, asking you to hear, notate, and sing the vertical structures underneath the music — triads, seventh chords and their inversions, and eventually chromatic motion outside the diatonic comfort zone. Weekly work alternates between written drills, two-part dictations with mixed rhythms and syncopation, and sight-singing in both treble and bass clef, with a growing emphasis on collective solfège where you hold your line against others. It builds directly on MSC 105 and is meant to give non-music students enough functional literacy to follow scores, sing in an ensemble, and survive later theory or performance electives without being lost when chords start moving.
