Review for Test II

This test will cover interval identification (pp 55-64) and triad construction (pp. 73-75).

If you have not already read the text pages above, please do so.

Things to Know:

Know the intervals in major scale (tonic to another scale step)

Know the chord qualities in C major scale (build a triad on each scale step).

Which 4ths are perfect (if both notes = same accidental then all 4ths are perfect except for the one built on _______).

Which 5ths are perfect ( Ditto except for the one built on _____).

What are the intervallic definitions of :

            Major triad

             Minor triad

            Diminished triad

            Augmented triad

What is a tritone?  Be able to build one enharmonically as a 4^th or 5^th.

Be able to explain the principle of interval inversion.

All triads will be identified or built in root position, not the SATB style from recent worksheets.

After the break everything we will use the workbook a lot.  Make sure you have one.
