Opening/Introduction Activity

Learning Opportunities/Procedure:
 Learn NCTs
1. Passing tone
a. In between two chord tones
2. Neighbor tone
a. Upper neighbor: goes up then back down to the same note
b. Lower neighbor: goes down then back up to the same note
3. Appogiatura
a. Leaps up or down, goes a step in opposite direction
4. Escape tome
a. Steps up or down, leaps in opposite direction
 As we learn each NCT, label them in the analysis assignment
1. (Start by identifying where all of the NCTs are, then go through and label them
Closing Activity
 Finish analysis assignment

Assessment:
  I will be collecting the analysis assignments at the end of class today to see gauge their knowledge of everything
we have learned.

Reflection:

 The students seem to understand the concept of non-chord tones pretty well, although it is clear that they need
another day of this. They are thinking too hard about this, and so when we come back to it tomorrow I need to
help them to stop doing that.
