How do I review for the midterm?

Here's a Review Sheet:

Midterm Review for MCO:

In General:
1) Make sure you have done all of the assigned computer drills and written
assignments.  If you're not sure about how well you've done them, get them
to me for feedback.  Since the computer drills are automatically graded,
you should have a good idea about these.  However, you may want to get the
written assignments to me.  You can get them to me in the following ways: 
	a) give them to me personally, 
	b) fax them to me, or 
	c) leave a photocopy of them in my mailbox
	
2) Make sure you have done the Pitch Quiz, the Rhythm Quiz, and the
Midterm Preparation Quiz (these are online and can be accessed from the
main page of the course web site, using the "Quizzes" link at the bottom
of the page).

CHAPTER TWO (THE NOTATIONAL SYSTEM)
1) Make sure you know the rhythmic values of whole, half, quarter, eighth,
and sixteenth notes and rests.

2)  Make sure you understand dots and ties.

3) Make sure you know the names of the lines and spaces in the treble clef
and the bass clef, including notes which are above or below the staff
(i.e. use ledger lines).

4) While you don't have to know from memory all of the gamut of pitches
and the registral designations, make sure you understand the concept of
registers.  

CHAPTER THREE (SIMPLE METER)

1) Make sure you understand what a meter signature is, and know how to
interpret the two numbers in a meter signature (also called a time
signature).

2) Be able to determine when a measure is complete, and know how to fill
in notes and rests to "fill out" an incomplete measure until it has
the correct number of beats in it.

3) Know the value of the whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note,
and sixteenth note (and the corresponding rests) in 3/2, 2/2, 3/4, 4/4,
3/8, and 4/8 meter signatures.
