Objectives: Music 267 will continue the development of musical thinking

and polyphonic thinking. Students will gain facility dealing with
chromatic alterations in tonal contexts. Rhythmic material will include
more complex syncopations, as well as triplets and duplets. Course Conduct: The class is conducted in a lab format, with skill development based on group activities including singing clapping, movement, listening and taking musical dictation.
