How to Understand a Harmonic Progression in Fewer than 10 Hearings: Extending and Implementing the Guide-tone Method using the "Do-Ti Test"
1. How to Understand a Harmonic Progression in Fewer than Hearings: Extending and Implementing the Guide-Tone Method Using the “Do-Ti Test”
2. Methodological Assumptions Multiple modes of hearing produce a convergence of evidence Productive methods interact with one another Do-Ti Test is not a replacement but rather a supplement to existing methods Do-Ti Test is designed primarily for first-year students Do-Ti Test assumes the use of moveable-Do
10. Active vs. Passive Focus Active focus refers to the listening techniques that one actively sustains in the inner ear. counting beats Do-Ti Test Passive focus refers to the disengaged awareness of what one is hearing. noticing the durations that occur within each beat noticing whether chords are Do- or Ti-chords
20. Major-Key Secondary Dominants Prerequisite skills:1. Ability to hear the presence of an applied leading tone2. Ability to hear the quality/function of the applied chord (D7, not LT7)
21. Minor-Key Secondary Leading-Tone Chords Prerequisite skills:1. Ability to hear the presence of an applied leading tone2. Ability to hear the quality/function of the applied chord (LT7, not D7)Helpful to remember:1. Only three aurally distinguishable fully-dim. sevenths2. Thus, final analysis depends upon real (or expected) resolution3. Provisional analysis is encouraged, such that: a) any o7 chord with Ti is assumed to be a diatonic viio7b) any secondary o7 chord with Do is assumed to be a viio7/V.
31. Benefits of the Do-Ti Test “Triangulates” other methods A clear, practical model for thinking and hearing Critical distinctions placed at the beginning of the hearing process Trains the ear to listen horizontally Promotes active listening
