SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. TheoryandTerminology
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 extend and deepen their understanding of the elements and other components of music, particularly through practical application and aural recognition, and use appropriate termi- nology related to them (e.g., identify major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads in root position and inversions; describe perfect, imperfect, and deceptive cadences; demonstrate an under- standing of a variety of chord progressions; demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the elements of music and performance practices such as phrasing and breathing; identify various forms and aspects of form, such as fantasia, rhapsody, serialism, tone poem, tone row)
C1.2 extend their understanding of, and use cor- rect terminology related to, the concepts of notation in a variety of activities (e.g., demon- strate an understanding of increasingly complex notation symbols by reading or writing notation when playing, singing, arranging, and composing; identify and notate accurately the seven standard diatonic modes; accurately notate increasingly complex or difficult melodies and rhythmic patterns; demonstrate an understanding of scoring formats for various small and larger ensembles; identify sound layering in increasingly complex voicings)
C1.3 accurately reproduce, notate, and identify increasingly complex melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic examples (e.g., seventh chords; perfect, plagal, imperfect, and deceptive cadences; all triads; major, minor, diminished, and augmented intervals, including inversions; rhythmic patterns in compound and mixed metres at various tempi)
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of the devel- opment of various forms of music with respect to chronology, genre, and theme (e.g., explain the features that differentiate opera and musical theatre; create a CD to demonstrate the timeline and chronology of the blues; analyse the themes in music from the Romantic period)
Teacher prompts: “You are in Vienna in the 1830s. What music would you program for a performance in one of the city’s major concert halls? Why would you focus on these particular selections?” “You are in Harlem in the 1930s. What music would you program for a concert at the Apollo Theater? Who would the featured artists be? Why?”
