Unit 1

Step 1

Though I left most pages blank, I went through the Music Literacy Benchmark Assessment and did what I could!

Step 2

I am definitely a beginner and don't know much. I need improvement everywhere and the only section I was confident about and got right was the patterns under ear training, which can still use some work.

Step 3

Rating Musical Literacy

A. Pitch= 1

B. Rhythm= 1

C. Meter= 1

D. Signs, Symbols & Terms= 1

E. Scales= 1

F. Key Signatures= 1

G. Chords= 1

H. Intervals= 1

I. Ear Training= 1 (but got some right!)

J. Dictation= 1

K. Sight Reading= 1

Step 4

I'd say my general outcome of this assessment is a generous 1...

Step 5

Simply, I am a beginner. I need to start at the beginning of all of this to get going. Though I can recognize some differences by ear, that is (sadly) about the extent of my knowledge with music for now.

Step 7

These resources have been super helpful to understand more about music. I plan to use a lot of these links as a guide in the future, and plan to get a lot out of them!
