It includes intensive drills on notation and visual recognition of treble and bass clefs; the theory of keys and their signatures; note names; major modes; harmonic and melodic minor modes; triads and seventh chords in any inversion; secondary dominants; and a discussion of the syntax of the tonal musical language.
