Aural-stimulus questions are exam questions that require students to listen to a musical excerpt and analyze or identify specific elements within the music.
Think of aural-stimulus questions like solving a musical puzzle. You have to carefully listen to the pieces of the puzzle (the musical excerpt) and figure out how they fit together.
Non-aural stimulus questions: These are exam questions that do not involve listening to music, but instead require students to analyze written scores or answer theoretical concepts.
Ear training: This term refers to exercises and activities designed to improve one's ability to recognize and identify musical elements by ear.
Musical analysis: It involves breaking down a piece of music into its individual components, such as melody, harmony, rhythm, form, etc., in order to understand its structure and meaning.
