CAI Activity #1 Exercises

Complete the following exercises as described in CAI Activity #1 Blackboard assignment. For each exercise, be sure to:

Work slowly and methodically for 100% accuracy.

Take your time, and try to stay relaxed.

Spend equal time working in both the treble clef and bass clef.
(If you are looking for a challenge, work in the alto clef and/or tenor clef.)

Customize each exercise to match your current level of ability; e.g., limit key signatures to 0-4 accidentals.
(If you are looking for a challenge, try 5-7 accidentals.)

Use the exercises as a way to identify areas of strength and weakness.

Make note of helpful exercises you find helpful so you can return to them next week.

You do not need to complete all of the exercises for a given drill. Just work on exercises you find helpful.

When you are finished exploring the exercises, write up your self-reflection paper upload it into the CAI Activity #1 Blackboard assignment. I can help you find exercises will address any specific areas of weakness you discover.
