100.182The deepest milestone

At the beginning of this course, music can feel like:

individual notes

individual chords

individual scales.

Now the objective is to hear increasingly large units:

  • interval
  • motif
  • voice-leading line
  • function
  • cadence
  • phrase
  • section
  • form

The larger your musical chunks become, the freer your hands become.
