AP Music Theory

Sample Syllabus 2
Course Overview

This rigorous course expands upon the skills learned in the Music Theory
Fundamentals course. Musical composition, sequencing, and use of MIDI digital
formats are some of the many applications employed to further student understanding of music theory.

Objectives of the Course

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, depending on individual colleges AP policies.

Teaching Strategies
Vocabulary is emphasized, because learning music theory lingo is critical to
success on the AP Exam. From the first day of class, I stress to my students the
importance of developing and utilizing their music vocabulary. Likewise, it is
crucial that they understand standard music theory protocol, both in analysis and
in composition.
I use composition as a means by which students can demonstrate their understanding of a particular concept. Many students find musical composition to be
intimidating, especially since they come to class with varying skills. I have found it
helpful to give specific composition assignments with prescribed requirements and
to grade them with a scoring guideline (rubric). [C13, C14] The issue then becomes
whether or not students followed the requirements. This allows all students to
succeed as long as they meet the assigned criteria, while giving the more advanced
composers some latitude to make it their own.

C13Musical skills
are developed through
the following types
of musical exercises:
written exercises.
C14Musical skills
are developed through
the following types
of musical exercises:
creative exercises.

11

Students can benefit from helping each other, so I encourage them to work with
a partner and check each others work. Sometimes the study of theory can seem
monotonous and dry, so its important to vary activities and give assignments that
let the creative juices flow. When a task in theory seems like an overwhelming
chore, we face it together with humor, as a challenge to be met. In that regard, I
have developed a list of music theory mantras, which are framed in my room; we
refer to them on a daily basis:
1. If you learn to do it right, you wont do it wrong!
2. Never double the leading tone!
3. If you can do it in C, you can do it in any key.
4. The circle-of-fifths is the secret to life!
5. Key signatures are our friends!!!
6. When in doubt write: ii6, I@, V7, I.
7. No drive-by six-fours allowed.
8. A hemiola is not a malady of the digestive tract.
9. Im not teaching music theory, Im teaching you to think!
10. Extrapolate, or ELSE!!!!
