1 Alexander High School Teacher: Andy Daniel AP Music Theory Course Syllabus Phone: (770) Course Overview/Objectives: This course is designed to develop musical skills that will lead to a thorough understanding of music composition and music theory. Students are prepared to take the AP Music Theory Exam when they have completed the course. Students planning to major in music in college may be able to enroll in an advanced music theory course and students not majoring in music may be able to exempt their school s Fine Arts appreciation requirement. This is all dependent on the individual colleges AP policies. AP Music Theory studies the harmony of tonal music through part-writing exercises. Although it emphasizes the music of the Common Practice period ( ), music of other stylistic periods is also studied. General Course Content: 1. Review of music fundamentals, including: scales, key signatures, circle of fifths, intervals, triads, and inversions 2. Daily ear training, including rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictation 3. Weekly sight-singing using numbers for pitches 4. The study of modes 5. The study of figured bass 6. The study of two-part counterpoint 7. The study of four-part harmony 8. The study of seventh chords 9. The study of secondary-dominant functions 10. The study of musical form 11. The study of common compositional techniques The objectives below have been adapted from the Expanded Course Specifications posted on the AP Music Theory home page on AP Central. Expanded Course Objectives: 1. Identify and notate pitch in four clefs: treble, bass, alto, and tenor. 2. Notate, hear, and identify simple and compound meters. 3.
