Music Theory 3C Lab Assignments


Unless otherwise specified, lab assignments are always due in class on Fridays. I post the answers every Monday of the following week so you can check your answers. If you do the lab assignments and don't check your answers, you are not getting the full benefit. Missing several labs during the course of a semester will have a significantly affect your overall grade.

Lab #7 Due Thursday10/6

Figure out the chords for "Ebb Tide" This will be tough for some of you. If you're stuck, come up to my office and we'll work on it together. You can get hints from the piano arpeggios. As Charles Ives said, Why can't you stand up before fine strong music like this and use your ears like a man?" It was used in a slightly different context, but just go with me on this one - it works.

Lab #8 Due Thursday 10/113

Worksheet - this one is not easy. Go for the melody first and try for as many chords as you can get. I've left clues in various places. If you get stuck I can help you. Don't worry about grace notes or any arpeggiated figures.
