In addition to reinforcing previous material, this course introduces the whole tone scale, complex rhythmic exercises (subdivision of simple and compound meters) atonal melodies, modes, and their transpositions. “C” clefs, Bach Chorales, and more complex harmonic progressions, which include secondary dominants, leading tone chords, the Neapolitan chord and augmented sixth chords in major and minor keys.
