    By emphasizing the technique of reading notes, students with no previous musical experience are provided with a study of the basic elements of music. Through weekly practice sessions in a classroom, students learn to recognize musical notes and how to read in syllables with pitches. The primary goal of this course is for students to be able to read music by the end of the semester. By doing so, they gain an understanding of other music courses offered at the University in addition to strengthening their own confidence and building a greater musical awareness. Since this course is not a private lesson in voice, singing technique is not included as part of the curriculum.
