Back to school fever...and a scavenger hunt!

Rising Level 2's: Choose (from any chapter you like) an Ottman example a day to read, fulfilling the following requirements over the course of the week with your respective selections: an example that incorporates melodic minor, an example that has a leap of a minor 6th, an example with more than 5 accidentals in the key signature, an example in bass clef, an example that arpeggiates the ii chord (in major or minor), and an example in natural minor.

Rising Level 3's: Choose (from chapter 9 and above) an Ottman example a day to read, fulfilling the following requirements over the course of the week with your respective selections: an example containing a "ri", an example that begins on a chromatic syllable, an example that leaps into a chromatic syllable (other than "si"), an example that outlines V/V (in major or minor), a modal example (not Ionian or Aeolian), and an example in asymmetric meter (not "Old Joe has Gone Fishing).

If you find something you're excited about, feel free to share with the group!

Happy beginning of school, everyone...I just spent this week taking preliminary doctoral exams (can I tell you, confidentially, that 16th-century counterpoint makes me nauseous?) and driving hither and yon....and all the way, I'm missing you! Take care, and have fun!
