Learning Exercises
You may turn in up to two exercises per week (optional).

The idea is to give you practice with these materials. With the analyses, I will not dictate how much you need to do for credit. Rather, I expect you to spend about an hour analyzing.

You may not turn in exercises for the tonal unit once the impressionism unit has started. Likewise, you may not turn in exercises for the impressionism unit until it has started.

Worksheets listed below count for one exercise each.

A complete analysis consists of:
Key
Cadences
Roman Numerals
Modulations
Any explanations of particularly difficult passages
