There is graded dictation at the beginning of each class: any student who
misses a dictation will earn a zero, which cannot be made up. There will be six
written assignments in four-part harmony, and they are due on the days indicated.
Any late assignment will be downgraded: since papers will have numbers (e.g.
"0" is no mistakes and an "A") a number will be added for each class day late.
Papers with the grade of "X" must be rewritten and submitted at the next class.
Sample analysis of a bach chorale:
The music of J.S. Bach's Es is Genug
(with chord symbols and phrases marked).
