What is mode mixture?
What is mixed meter?




Students will expand upon their knowledge of mode mixtures and begin experimenting with mixed meter. Emphasis should be placed upon the relationships between simple and compound meters (12/8 and 4/4, 2/4 and 6/8, etc..)



The student will:
*aurally analyze musical selections for mode mixture and mixed meter
*analyze written music containing mode mixture and mixed meter
*demonstrate and understanding of mode mixture and mixed meter through compositions




In this unit, the student will:
*listen to a variety of music containing mode mixtures and mixed meter
*compose pieces incorporating mode mixtures and mixed meter, as well as incorporating all elements of composition covered to this point.



Students will be assessed via:
*Class discussion of aural examples
*analysis of written music
*Student compositions
