Non-Harmonic Tones Mastery Quiz

What is a suspension in music theory?

• A note that is part of the current chord

• A note that resolves up to the next chord tone

• A note that is held over from a previous chord and resolves down

• A note that is introduced as a dissonance and does not resolve

Which non-harmonic tone is approached by step and then leaps in the opposite direction?

• Appoggiatura

• Escape tone

• Passing tone

• Neighbor tone

What characterizes an appoggiatura?

• It is approached by leap and resolves by step

• It is approached and left by step in the same direction

• It is always a part of the chord

• It is approached by step and resolves by leap

How does a passing tone move?

• By leap to another non-chord tone

• By step between two chord tones

• By leap to a chord tone

• It does not move; it stays the same

What is a neighbor tone?

• A tone that moves by step from a chord tone and returns by leap

• A tone that moves by leap from a chord tone and returns by step

• A tone that moves by step from a chord tone and returns to the same chord tone by step

• A tone that replaces a chord tone temporarily

What is true about anticipations in music?

• They resolve into a chord tone by leap

• They are non-chord tones that precede a chord change and resolve by step

• They are chord tones that are played before the chord changes, creating a momentary dissonance

• They do not resolve and remain dissonant

Which non-harmonic tone is NOT typically resolved?

• Suspension

• Appoggiatura

• Anticipation

• Neighbor tone

In a musical context, how can you identify a suspension?

• It is always approached by leap

• It creates a dissonance that resolves by moving downward

• It is a repeated note that does not change pitch

• It is approached and left by the same note

What differentiates a passing tone from a neighbor tone?

• A passing tone moves by leap, while a neighbor tone moves by step

• A passing tone connects two chord tones by step, while a neighbor tone moves away from and then back to the same chord tone

• A passing tone is dissonant, while a neighbor tone is consonant

• A passing tone occurs on the beat, while a neighbor tone occurs off the beat

Which statement best describes escape tones?

• They are approached by step and resolved by leap in the opposite direction

• They are approached and resolved by step in the same direction

• They are approached by leap and resolved by step

• They do not need to resolve because they are consonant with the chord
