(A) Week 15 Overview — Start Here
Welcome to Unit 15: The Movable Frame
Welcome back — walk in session 1 and sing. However much of the ten-minute protocol you kept, the room will restore your momentum fast; bring your two-line break log (honor system). Your prepared melodies have been in hand since Unit 13; the break was the bridge. This week: one tune from three dos, Nashville numbers, and the final aural assessment, both sessions.
Work the table top to bottom.
| # | Do this | Type | Points | Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tutorial 15 — the movable-frame circuit: new-key spelling, the singer's direction, Nashville translation, the thirty-second routine | Tutorial | 10 | before session 1 |
| 2 | Drill Studio 15 — three dos, the Nashville singalong, mock hearings | Studio | — | in session |
| 3 | Practice 15 — daily mixed loop + AI coach, final-prep floor | Practice | 5 | the end of the week |
| 4 | Final: response part — 12 heard items, in class, session 1, closed to AI | Final | 12 | session 1 |
| 5 | Final: performance — one prepared + one at-sight melody, both sessions, posted rotation | Final | 60 | in session |
The final replaces this week's skills check and submission. The late-work policy is in the syllabus.
Why this makes you a better musician
Do travels, and the tune survives — the last skill, containing all the others. When the band changes key for the singer, you move with it: same syllables, same numbers, new door. Fifteen weeks ago your ear did this secretly; now it does it out loud, from the page, in any key.
How to succeed: small doses, daily, voice first — trust the thirty seconds.
(B) Announcement — Week 15
Subject: Welcome back — the frame moves, and so do you
Hi everyone,
I hope the break was restful. Whatever your practice log looks like, come to session 1 ready to sing — the first fifteen minutes bring your ear back, loudly. Bring the two-line log.
This week the course keeps its promise: one tune from three dos, Nashville numbers under real chords — then the final: twelve heard questions session 1, three-minute hearings both sessions on the posted order. Nothing on it is new; it is the same drills, administered, one last time.
Tutorial 15 before session 1; practice closes at the end of the week. It has been a joy to hear you. Come sing.
See you in the studio,
Professor Hemsworth
