COURSE REQUIREMENTS

 

1.     Class Attendance. Regular attendance and punctuality are essential.  Your grade will be

lowered one letter for every three absences; you will also be counted absent for every three times that you are late for class.  (This policy  will be discussed further in class.)

 

2.  There will be announced exams during the term, a final exam at the scheduled final exam period, a listening exam, and a term paper. Except in the most unusual of circumstances, missed quizzes and exams will not be made unless you have made special arrangements with me BEFORE the absence. Pop quizzes can be expected!  Your term paper is late if it is not turned in at the beginning of class on the day that it is due.  Your term paper grade will be lowered one letter for every class day that the paper is overdue.  Class participation will be factored into your semester average.

 

3.  Concert Attendance. Each student is required to attend eight (8) concerts(either sponsored by UNCW or approved by Dr. Martin) during the semester that he/she is enrolled in this course.  Please keep your programs and turn them into me at the end of the semester.

 

4.  Readings in the course are not extensive so more emphasis can be placed on actual listening during out‑of‑class preparation. Most of the listening assignments will be taken from the Enjoyment of Music Record Set with the corresponding Norton Scores.

 

5.  Pre‑Reading. The following chapters are essential to your developing an appropriate musical vocabulary. Please read them as soon as possible, and please refer to them when your required readings contain references to them.

 

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 27, 28
