1 Course Description The Advanced Placement Music Theory course is a college-level course in which students learn the fundamentals of western tonal harmony, phrase and motivic analysis, musical form, and basic partwriting. The course covers mainly the music of the Common Practice Period, though other music is used occasionally. Using examples from the text books, and teacher-gathered excerpts, students will be exposed to music ranging from the Baroque to the Romantic periods. Some examples include Schubert Leider, Bach chorales, Mozart operas, and Beethoven symphonies. The course meets daily in the chorus room during the 7 th period block. This course is ideal for students who hope to pursue post-secondary music study or students who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding of how music is created and analyzed. Students taking this course should have a solid understanding of basic music theory, as taught in the first and second year music classes at South Lake High School. The course, as developed by the College Board, is designed to replace a first semester theory course at a post-secondary institution at which a music degree is offered. Students will take the College Board AP Music Theory exam in May. Students who score well enough on this test may have the option of receiving credit from their post-secondary institution for their first semester theory course.

One such skill is aural and visual analysis of music. Every week, students will apply the topics covered in the text and aurally/visually analyze a piece of music. For example, in week six, students will listen to Schubert s Der Lindenbaum, a piece that moves back and forth between a parallel major and minor. Students will identify aurally when a change occurs. They will identify the mode of each section, identify the tonic of each section, and conclude whether the piece uses relative or parallel relationships. They will then analyze a copy of the score to confirm their conclusion. They will complete a small writing assignment explaining their findings, using academic terminology. Other skills that must be developed throughout the entire course include aurally identifying intervals, chord quality, and scales, dictating melody and bass lines, and dictating rhythms. Three days each week, students will practice these skills for the first 7-10 minutes of class. They will also be required to demonstrate these skills on the quizzes and exams. Last, students will develop sight-singing skills throughout the course. Using the Ottman text, students will learn techniques to accurately sing melodies at sight. They will also be required to demonstrate sightsinging skills on quizzes and exams. Student Evaluation To input grades and communicate student progress with parents and students, South Lake uses the computer software Skyward Student. Guidance counselors will set up and distribute student and parent accounts at the beginning of the school year. In skyward, students and parents can see what assignments have become due and the student score on each assignment. Parents and students can also the teacher through the program, as well as see teacher announcements and resources. Different assignment types carry different values in the course. This is reflected in the number of possible points for each assignment. Points are distributed as follows: Workbook Assignments 10 points each 20% of total points possible
4 Quizzes 55 points each 30% of total points possible Quarter Exams 150 points each 35% of total points possible Quiz/Exam Review Packets 20 points each 15% of total points possible Assignment Types There are four different assignment types in this course: workbook assignments, quizzes, quarter exams, and review packets. Workbook Assignments: These are worksheet type assignments found in The Musician s Guide to Theory and Analysis workbook. They are assigned weekly on Monday and are due the following Monday. Quizzes: These are given twice each quarter. They include both written exercises and assessment on aural and sight-singing skills. They can be retaken up to one week after the quiz is handed back for a redemption of up to half the points lost. Quarter Exams: These are given once each quarter. They include both written exercises and assessment on aural and sight-singing skills. The cover content from the entire quarter. Performance on the two quarterly quizzes is a good indicator of performance on the quarter exams, as they combine and deeper assess the topics covered in the quizzes. Exams can be retaken up to one week after it is handed back for a redemption of up to half the points lost. Review Packets: For each quiz and exam there will be a review packet given a few days before the exam. The review packet covers all topics on the exam/quiz and students will have an opportunity to go over the review packet with the teacher and with their peers before the exam. Other Resources Students may wish to supplement their study or practice time with resources other than the class texts and assignments. The following are technology based resources available at no cost: Online drills for fundamentals such as key signatures, scales, intervals and chords
5 Offers lessons and drills for fundamental concepts music theory guy A youtube channel with short videos explaining fundamental concepts Provides thousands of sight-singing exercises to practice these skills In addition to the above resources, the music library at South Lake houses text resources such as the Harvard Dictionary of Music, the Grove s Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and numerous vocal and instrumental scores that can used for supplemental analysis practice.
