A slash through a 6 means to raise the 6th above the bass.
E.g. an E in the bass with a slashed 6 means there is a C# above the bass.

Quiz on Monday. Review progressions for first inveresion I, IV, V chords.
Bass line
1. Using your sheet from class, circle which harmonies (harmonic progression) would be most appropriate. Look for strong, circle of 5th progressions. I, V, IV chords should predominate.
2. Go to noteflight bass line, go to File > Save As.. to save a copy.
3. Fill in the harmony you chose by using the chord symbol tool. Select a bass note and click K, you should see a cursor below the staff. (You can also go to Score > Text > Chord Symbol)
Type the harmony you picked, e.g. I6 or V or ii6, etc.
I found that I had to select every single note and press K and then type in my harmony, I couldn't figure out how to jump to the next note (maybe you can?).
4. Write a soprano line using the harmony you have chosen. If you pick a I chord, then the soprano should only be either a C, E, or G.
5. Avoid parallel perfect 5ths and 8vas (double-check your work by checking each interval created between the bass and soprano).
6. Resolve leading-tones in the soprano.
7. Email your soprano lines to jeremy.marino@d128.org
8. Enjoy your weekend.

Interval Practice Test 2
Composition
Compose a melody in treble clef.
Start melody on scale degree 1.
End of measure 4 on scale degree 5 (dominant).
End of melody on scale degree 1.

Compose a counter-melody in bass clef.
Considerations: Do not copy what the top melody is doing, either note wise or rhythm wise. You want each part to be independent. See my example. The first four bars show what NOT to do, the second four bars show a good example. You should have instances of at least 8 different intervals types between your two voices. I will only count intervals that are sounded on the same count (for example two notes that both play on beat two will be counted as an interval, NOT a half note in one part on beat one and a quarter on beat 2 of the other part.)

>Interval Sheet


>Compose an 8-bar modal melody using noteflight.com
Start on the first note of your mode scale. End the first 4 bars on the 5th note of the scale.
End the melody on the first note.
Focus on using mainly halfs, quarters and eighths, you can use a whole note for the last bar.
No accidentals, only notes in the mode.
No rests.
Be sure to label the piece by its modal name. For example: Composition in B Dorian.
Put your name in the composer space.
Only need to use one staff, either treble or bass, not both.
