About the Musicianship sequence (MUS15A-B-C)
Michael Dessen, University of California, Irvine
I currently supervise MUS 15 A-B-C, a three-quarter course sequence in Musicianship skills designed for music majors at UCI. These courses focus on sight-singing, dictation, rhythm, transcription, and performance skills. For the 2008-2009 academic year, Mr. John Crooks, an accomplished professional musician in our graduate MFA program, will once again be assisting with teaching this course.
Music majors must take MUS 15 A-B-C simultaneously with MUS 16 A-B-C (Music Theory).
If you place into the Fundamentals (MUS 25) theory course, you must wait until you are enrolled in MUS 16 to take MUS 15.
If you attend the first full week of MUS 15 classes and feel your skills in all areas of the course are exceptionally high and warrant placing into 15B, you must contact Mr. Crooks or myself by Friday at the end of that first full week.
If you are a transfer student and your transcript shows college-level musicianship courses you have taken elsewhere (sight-singing, dictation, aural skills) then please email me.
Non-music majors may only take the course with instructor permission, on a space-available basis.
Enrolled students can access the course website through MyEEE.
