Mansfield Timberview High School – Orchestra

Written music theory is the study of musical designs, proportions, and inventive patterns that are transformed by the mind into aesthetic experiences. In general, students will gain fluency through both analysis and occasional writings of their own. In addition to studying written music theory (including scales, intervals, chords, etc.), students will be involved in ear training exercises/drills. Ear training is a multi-faceted endeavor. Its subdivisions include sight singing, melodic dictation, harmonic dictation, and rhythmic dictation. The drills involved with the study of ear training are to be practiced as dutifully as that on the student’s performance instrument. # (TCC) MUSIC
