What Can I Learn in Volume 2?
To the basic skills taught in volume one, you will develop competence with ledger lines, a few basic rules of harmony, and chord structure. From this start, you will begin moving through each of the major keys to develop mastery of our musical notation system.
The emphasis on ear training continues in Volume 2. Most students who take the Advanced Placement Music Theory Exam say they wished they had been more faithful with the sight singing and melodic dictation. Learn from their experience! Make sure you can perform all the sight singing examples with100% mastery.
After finishing the eight Magic of Inner Hearing lessons in Volume 2, you will begin a tour of music through the ages. Explore the lives and music of the great composers and be inspired to move past the beginning stage of musical study to the advanced level. You will learn why Bach sounds like Bach and Mozart like Mozart. You will begin seeing how composers of the past have influenced and paved the way for the pop, rock, jazz, and classical composers of today. Musical textures, forms of counterpoint, sonata-allegro form and many other musical mysteries are discussed in an easy to understand way that has been a proven winner among teachers, parents, and students.
