The course principally helps students pass the Ear Training/Sight Singing requirement for the major but can benefit individuals in singing groups or those who wish to improve their practical musical skills. Preference given to majors & minors. Usually taken concurrently with MUSA 2100 Harmony or MUSA 3100 Chromatic Harmony. Open to Music majors; pending space, open to non-majors with instructor permission.
