1 7/20/18 To Mountain View H.S. A.P. Music Theory Students and Parents: Welcome back from your summer break! I hope you ve enjoyed your time away working, playing, and spending time with your families. Welcome to A.P. Music Theory, a class that examines advanced music theory and ear training. Mark your calendars now. The AP Music Theory Exam is Monday, May 13th, 2019, 8 A.M. I want you to enjoy Music Theory. You can help yourself with this by following several guidelines: AP Music Theory Policies and Procedures Course Overview 1. Course Objectives At the completion of the AP Music Theory course, students will: A. Notate pitch and rhythm in accordance with standard notations practices B. Read melodies in treble, bass, and movable C clefs C. Write, sing, and play major scales and all three forms of minor scales D. Recognize by ear and by sight all intervals within an octave E. Use the basic rules that govern traditional music composition F. Harmonize a melody with appropriate chords using good voice leading G. Analyze the chords of a musical composition with Roman and Arabic numerals and also with lead sheet symbols H. Transpose a composition from one key to another I. Express musical ideas by composing and arranging J. Understand and recognize basic musical forms: ternary, binary, rondo, etc. K. Write simple rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictation 2. A.P. Curricular Requirements These are requirements the College Board requires every AP Music Theory course to include in their curriculum.! The teacher has read the most recent AP Music Theory Course description, available as a free download at apcentral.collegeboard.com/music.! The course first helps students master the rudiments and terminology of music, including: notational skills, intervals, scales and keys, chords, metric organization, and rhythmic patterns.! The course progresses to include more sophisticated and creative tasks: Composition of a bass line for a given melody, implying appropriate harmony 1

2 Realization of a figured bass Realization of a Roman numeral progression Analysis of repertoire, including study of motivic treatment, examination of rhythmic and melodic interaction between individual voices of a composition, and harmonic analysis of functional tonal passages! The course incorporates a brief introduction to twentieth-century scales, chordal structures, and compositional procedures, either through analysis or original composition.! The course teaches the following procedures based in common-practice tonality: Functional triadic harmony in traditional four-voice texture (with vocabulary including nonharmonic tones, seventh chords, and secondary dominants) Tonal relationships Modulation to closely related keys! The course also teaches: Standard rhythms/meters Phrase structure Small forms (e.g., rounded binary, simple ternary, theme and variation, strophic)! Musical skills are developed through the following types of musical exercises (both conducted in class and assigned as homework): Listening (discrete intervals, scales, etc.; dictations; excerpts from literature) Sight-singing Written exercises Creative exercises Analytical exercises! The course includes, but is not limited to, study of a wide variety of vocal and instrumental music from the standard Western tonal repertoires. 3. Course Planner Each week students will have a lesson based on the Kotska-Payne text. Coinciding worksheets will be assigned from the Kotska-Payne workbook. Students will also receive a lesson and daily exercises from the Ottman sight-singing text. Also, ear training and appropriate drills will be assigned from the Musition and Auralia software. The following is an estimation of the yearly curriculum. Note: Musition is abbreviated as M Auralia is abbreviated as A 2
