I can notate rhythmic, melodic and harmonic content and to reproduce notated music through my voice and body. I am also able to sing music while sight-reading and to add note names to a given melody in different keys. I perceive harmony and melody with the names of the notes and the scale degrees, alongside chord symbols and the roles of the melody notes regarding the key and the chord they’re on. I can also write down multipart harmonies with the assistance of the basic principles of voice leading. |
