Assignment 17
Triad primer
Hold on to your DIY triad primer. We will not cover everything on here this week, and we will come back to it later in the term.
Written exercises
Do all exercises on S2S pp. 405-407 (exx. 10.1-10.6). Note the TYPOS listed below.
Neatness is key:
- Make sure all accidentals are properly sized and situated.
- Write chords using half notes or quarter notes, to practice proper notation of stems.
- When writing chords, extend the stem a full octave in length from the last "inside" note (the top note on an upstem chord, the low note on a downstem chord).
TYPO-O-RAMA alert! Note these typos on the worksheet pages:
- p. 405, 3rd line, 2nd triad: should be C-E-G# (not C-E#-G)
- p. 405, 4th line, 4th triad: bottom note should be F#.
- p. 406, exercise 10.4: in the second chord, E major, the high G (G5) should be G#. (Note that the sharp sign on the G4 line carries through the measure, so the absence of repeated sharps on the lower G is not an error.)
- p. 407, exercise 10.5: the example chord (E major) is notated incorrectly. The top note should be B, not C.
