In a hard fought victory that came down to the wire, the Aural Skills non-majors beat the music majors in the end of the semester "Skillz-off" by a final score of 5-4. After multiple rounds of dictation, key signatures, sequentials, solfege, takadimi, and more, the non-majors proved to be too much for a depleted music major squad. Hopefully the music majors will regain their swagger going into the finals! Good luck everyone!
