Step 3

• Use your own experience, assessment results and this Music Theory Quick Fact Sheet to rate your musical literacy for concepts A-K

1=Beginner, 3=Intermediate and 5=Advanced

A.  Pitch= 3

B.  Rhythm=  4.5

C.  Meter= 3.5

D.  Signs, Symbols & Terms= 3

E.  Scales= 2.9

F.  Key Signatures= 3

G.  Chords= 2

H.  Intervals=  2.5

I.  Ear Training= 2.5

J. Dictation= 3.5

K.  Sight Reading=4.5

Step 4

• Please indicate the average/general outcome of this self-assessment (1, 3, 5) 3

Step 5

• Provide a general statement about your music literacy confidence level including areas of needed improvement.

By doing this benchmark, I have realized I am relatively good at sight reading, general rhythms and even some more advanced rhythms, a little bit of ear training with intervals and recognizing the notes on the staff when played. I definitely need work on chords (recognizing the type of chord, the intervals, naming chords), bass clef, and more confidence in scales to get rid of the transposition confusion. 

Step 4

• Does this music from Mozart's Symphony 40 in g minor feel like it is grouped in 2 or 3 beats per measure? 3 BPM

• Does this music from Haydn's Symphony 94 'Surprise' feel like it is grouped in 2 or 3 beats per measure? 2 BPM

Topics I should improve on:

- Bass chef notes

- Memorize Italian Terms

- Odd, Simple, and Compound Meter
