  • New Module

  • Sheet of Blank Chromatic-Scale Clock Faces

    • A bridge module "must be followed by [the primary module] in order for its function to be satisfied" (Summach, p. 79), though it is possible for a bridge module in VC form to lead into a final verse module.
    • (Think of an srdc strophe becoming longer until sr forms its own two-part verse module (or two successive verse modules), d forms its own prechorus module, and c forms its own chorus module.)
    • Janus modules typically overlap with or elide the ending of the preceding module.
    • A is the primary module.
    • A module containing three phrases is a three-part module.
  • Modulation

    • When a direct modulation happens across a phrase boundary, it is also called a phrase modulation.
    • Direct/phrase modulations by step from old-key tonic to new-key tonic in pop music are also called step-up or pump-up modulations.
    • A step-up modulation is notated like a direct modulation.
    • A truck-driver modulation is notated like a direct modulation.
    • A pivot-chord modulation is notated in a special way.
  • Modulation

    • This is called modulation.
    • Shorter works, even in classical style, are less likely to have complete modulations.
    • In most styles of music, a slow, gradual modulation to the new key (and back) seems more natural, and abrupt modulations can seem unpleasant and jarring.
    • A new key signature may help you to identify the modulation key.
    • Modulations can make harmonic analysis much more challenging, so try to become comfortable analyzing easier pieces before tackling pieces with modulations.
  • Internal Expansions

    • When a direct modulation happens across a phrase boundary, it is also called a phrase modulation.
    • Direct/phrase modulations by step from old-key tonic to new-key tonic in pop music are also called step-up or pump-up modulations.

  • Modular Content

    • Boundless courseware is comprised of individual modules, each with a three-part structure: a learning objective, supporting digital content, and a set of assessment items.
    • For this customizability to be possible, Boundless content is made up of bite-sized, standalone content modules called concepts.
    • Each content module is organized in a three-part structure: the learning objective, the supporting text, media, and interactives, and the assessment items.
    • The learning objective is the core of any given content module.
    • The supporting text and media elements of the three-part Boundless content module is more like the traditional "textbook" material you might think of.
  • Thematic Modules

  • Boundless Subjects and Alignments

    • The modular nature of Boundless textbooks means that a given subject has a number of different textbooks in it, each with largely the same content, but in different orders and with some changes to which content modules are included.
    • The content modules in a Boundless textbook are modular.
    • With our book editor, the content modules of a given subject textbook can be re-organized into different chapters and sections, which can themselves be renamed.
    • Modules can also be removed from the book and added from other subjects.
  • Intervallic Structure

    • Following are definitions for important modules and cadences found in sonata-form expositions.
    • The Closing module (C) immediately follows the EEC.
    • The final cadence of a P module may be elided by the beginning of TR.
    • The C module will always be in the secondary key.
    • The difference between an RT and a turnaround is that an RT follows a modulation.
  • Authoring Platform

    • Boundless makes it easy to write, edit, and track the progressive changes made to a given content module.
    • You can recommend or suggest edits to any existing content module by clicking the "Edit" button in the right sidebar or one of the "edit" links throughout the page.
    • (An educator adding their own content would have to first create a new content module while creating their book's table of contents; the new content module would then appear as a blank page on our site with the same "Edit" button.)
