Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units.

Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit continues to develop the students understanding of key aural principles and techniques and their application within a jazz context. The student will demonstrate the application of basic aural skills in a variety of contexts through an examination of the fundamental musical elements of intervals, scales, chords, rhythm, chord progressions and melody. By the end of the unit the student will demonstrate acceptable progress towards the acquisition of intermediate aural skills. The vocalisation of material will continue to be developed to support the underpinning theoretical constructs, with singing and dictation being the primary tools for internalizing each area of study. Commonalities and specialties of a variety of different musical conventions will be examined and contextualised.
