The+Midterm+Assignment

Hi - First of all ... Are you all "tracking" this? Would those of you who are please //send me an email// (cc-ing Jason P as always of course) confirming that you are (as requested), and have read this, ASAP?

Next - things keep getting pushed back, but I think I want to make the "due date" for these midterm-ish pages of yours to be __Thursday__ and not __Tuesday__, in part because I'd pushed back the due date for the Rev projects, and in part because I really do want you to do a good job on this midterm assignment, and not //fail// to do a good job because you feel rushed. And since I myself have been overwhelmed the past several days with the press of moving my home from UTC to downtown SD, I've been remiss in posting the important page I'd promised for clarifying the assignment anyway, and I didn't want to rush in doing //that//, etc etc ad nauseum ...

I mentioned in class last Thursday that we would move to the "Tonality" topic next to follow on the heels of the discussion of memory for melodies. Specifics on what to read for Tuesday May 12 class would be the Thackray paper regarding "tests of tonality" and the Balzano paper entitled "Music Perception as Detection of Pitch-Time Constraints".
