For the final exam, students will be expected to do some or all of the following: write a two-part melodic dictation; complete a simple harmonic dictation; sing melodies with solfege (prepared and at sight); analyze form (either aurally or visually); analyze phrase structures, cadences, Roman Numerals, and non-chord tones; realize a figured bass; and harmonize a soprano line (SATB).
