Intermediate 3 Music
Course Overview
Intermediate 3 Music introduces students to all the notes of the major scale, from low So all the way up to high Do. Students also learn to recognize and sing the natural minor scale. They expand their knowledge of rhythm with simple syncopated patterns. This semester introduces the Modern period in music, with listening activities to help students recognize Modern music and identify pieces by individual composers. Near the end of the year, students explore American folk music as they follow the expansion of the country westward. Finally, they learn to recognize the major forms of classical music: three-part song form, theme and variations, rondo, sonata allegro, and fugue.
