Students will also be introduced to technologies used in the study of aural skills. There is no prerequisite for this course. Co-requisite: Students must also register for the course MUS 121. Note: A letter grade of at least C- must be attained in MUS 121 (theory and aural skills combined) in order for the course to count toward the music major.
