& Music Video Series and lectures. Students should bring the textbook to each class so we can make use
of the listening outlines found there.
(b) Class attendance is your responsibility and please be on time so the sessions can be orderly. Students are in
all cases responsible for anything and everything said in class - including changes in assignments, exams, as
this syllabus is subject to change. In addition, it should be noted that approximately one-third of the
questions on each examination may be taken from the lectures.
(c) Listening to live performances of music is highly recommended. Students should become aware of the many
options in the central Florida area. NO book or lecture can deal adequately with the subject of music. One
must become accustomed to listening creatively to music in order to enjoy it more.
EXAMINATIONS: Online learning center www.mhhe.com/kamien9 contains many
materials to assist students studying for examinations. Four (4) multiple choice
exams will be given with questions based on the text and class sessions. Those

the assigned pieces is played.
