Pitch and Melody
The Pitch and Melody topic area tests a students ability to recognise
and recall individual notes and melodic lines. Tuning is also covered.
Counterpoint
Singing
In Counterpoint Singing, students will be played a short two part phrase,
and will be asked to sing the upper or lower of the two parts.
Note
Recognition
Note Recognition is a good preparation topic for Counterpoint Singing.
Two note and three note chords are played, and students have to sing either
the top, bottom, middle or tonic note of the resulting chord.
Melodic
Dictation
Meldoic Dictation requires students to notate a melody on a staff. Rhythm
and pitch are required, and melodies are played in major and minor keys.
Tuning
Initially, students will simply be asked to differentiate between sharp
and flat. In later levels, students actually have to tune notes themselves,
using a sliding bar.
