• Weekly lab homework: Lab homework consists mainly of dictation exercises found in the Listening section at the end of most chapters of the Manual for Ear Training and Sight Singing, and from the AP4 supplement which will be distributed in class at the beginning of semester, though other exercises may also be set. Reflective annotation is a required component in addition to transcription. Specific exercises will be assigned each week by your tutor.
• Mid-Semester Test: An in-class test that assesses transcription skills based on material covered in the first half of the semester. The format will be similar to, though shorter than, the final lab exam.
• Final lab exam: The final lab exam for this unit of study is a 1-hour music dictation exam in which students will be required to listen to and transcribe melodies, chord progressions and repertoire excerpts. This is a timed exam, with playings and silences spaced out evenly over the duration of the hour.
• Solfege class assessments: Each week your solfege tutor will assign a series of musical exercises for you to prepare. These will be examined viva voce in class. Exercises may include chord progressions sung in letter names or solfa, performing rhythm examples including conducting, and melodies sung in solfa or letter-names. Other sorts of singing exercises may also be assigned at your tutor’s discretion.
• Solfege examination: Each student takes an individual face-to-face test with an examiner during exam week. An online sign-up process offering a range of test times will be posted in the last week of classes. It is your responsibility to sign up for a test at a time which does not conflict with your scheduled written exams, and to attend at the time for which you signed up.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.
