1 Music Theory AP Course Syllabus All students must complete the self-guided workbook Music Reading and Theory Skills: A Sequential Method for Practice and Mastery prior to entering the course. This allows all students to review and/or acquire basic skills of musicianship prior to entering this single semester course which must move at a rapid pace to cover all the curricular requirements as outlined in the current AP Music Theory Course Description provided by the College Board available at The workbook covers the fundamentals of music from very basic to moderately advanced. Level 1 includes skills in identifying music symbols, reading and writing basic notation, reading and writing basic rhythms, and a review of commonly used music terms and symbols. Level 2 expands the section on rhythm reading and notation to include all note values through sixteenth notes and rests in simple meters. Major scales and key signatures are discussed and additional musical terms are introduced and reviewed. Level 3 expands rhythm reading and notation to include triplets and compound meters. Minor scales and key signatures are introduced with intensive review of major scales and key signatures in relation to the circle of fifths. The reading and writing of major and perfect melodic and harmonic intervals is explained and practice is provided. The final section of Level 3 introduces major and minor triad construction and identification. Individual assistance with this material is offered by appointment on an as needed basis. The main text (Kostka, Stefan, and Payne) for the course addresses basic music theory elements with both written and listening examples of a variety of music from standard Western tonal repertoire. The weekly course structure references specific chapters in the text that include examples of musical literature relevant to the material being presented. Other styles of music will be encountered during the course and students are encouraged to find application of newly acquired knowledge and skills to music they encounter on a daily basis. A brief introduction to twentieth century music and compositional techniques is included near the end of the course utilizing Chapter 28 of the Kostka text. Students will be issued a personal copy of the workbook that accompanies the test. Both the text and workbook include recordings of virtually all the examples from music literature found in each. Aural skills are introduced and reinforced through direct classroom instruction using the Karpinski and Kram text. Sightsinging materials come from the text as well as from the use of student composition and partwriting assignments as additional supplemental material. Additional resources via several websites are used to elaborate and enhance material studied via the text. Individual student practice is required through the use of the trainers available at Written and aural homework assignments are assigned on an almost daily basis throughout the course. Quizzes on material assigned and discussed in class also occur almost daily. Quizzes on aural development material are given during class time a minimum of three times each week. Sightsinging, though practiced with the whole class on a daily basis, is individually graded once weekly. In later weeks of the course, sightsinging using examples closely matching those on the AP exam is completed using the same hand held cassette recorders that will be used during the actual exam. Partwriting assignments are completed during class time with teacher assistance as well as assigned as homework assignments. The majority of these assignments must be completed by handwritten notation (matching the type of response required on the exam) though some will require use of the notational software provided to each student with the workbook. There will be a minimum of three tests during each six weeks grading period. Tests will include both aural and written exercises based on the material covered at that point in the course. The second practice AP administered at the end of the course will count as a major test grade for the final six weeks. Grading percentage: Tests 40% Quizzes 30% Homework Completion 10% Classroom Participation/Work Ethic 20%
