Outlines
π€ Introducing the Exam Format
The instructor introduces the level 2 exam, explaining that it allows students to gauge their progress and see how well they have absorbed the material. It is set up like an obstacle course with 30 questions across various topics.
π΅ Error Fixing Exercise
The first question is an error fixing exercise in 4/4 time. Students must identify and correct 10 errors in rhythm, note grouping, bar lines, repeats, etc. Hints are provided about checking the time signature and using triplets.
πΌ Transposition Exercises
There are two 10-mark transposition exercises: 1) Name the key of the excerpt and transpose up a major 3rd, 2) Name the key and transpose down a minor 6th. Marks deducted for mistakes in key signatures, accidentals, intervals, etc.
πΉ Identifying and Writing Cadences
Students must: 1) Name the 4 cadences introduced in Roman numerals (5 marks), 2) Write a C major perfect cadence (5 marks), 3) Write a Bb major perfect cadence (5 marks), 4) Write a D major plagal cadence (5 marks).
π₯ Rhythm Identification and Addition
Multiple rhythm questions presented: 1) Name the notes/rests (4 marks), 2) Add up beats in various meters (6 marks), 3) Place beat numbers under rhythms (6 marks), 4) Identify errors in the instructor's addition (2 marks)
π΅βπ« Modes Identification Exercise
Students must: 1) Name the modes based on the interval patterns given (5 marks), 2) Write locrian, phrygian and ionian modes from memory (5 marks), 3) Write the dorian mode starting on B (5 marks).
π©βπ« Musical Terms & Definitions
Students must provide definitions for various Italian musical terms, including: con moto, poco poco, grave, brillante, primosso, tenuto, forte piano, etc. (2 marks each).
π€ Sharing Exam Results and Experiences
The instructor encourages students to share their exam results and experiences in the comments. He acknowledges it was more difficult than the previous exam, so reviews may be necessary. He hopes students are feeling encouraged by their progress.
π Signing Off Until Next Level
