1 Certificated Teacher: Desired Results: Music Theory Fundamentals/AP Music Theory Syllabus School Year: Course Title : Music Theory Fundamentals/AP Music Theory Credit: one semester (.5) X two semesters (1.0) Prerequisites and/or recommended preparation: Fluency in reading rhythm and pitch notation in both treble and bass clefs. These concepts are presented in the first two units; AP students may complete and submit the assignments to test out of these units. Estimate of hours per week engaged in learning activities: 5 hours of class work per week per 18 week semester Instructional Materials: All learning activities (resources, assignments, assessments) are contained within or referenced in the student s online course. The online course is accessed via login and password assigned by student s school (web account) or ed directly to student upon enrollment, with the login website. Other resources required/resource Costs: Finale Notepad software available free from Audacity audio editing/recording software free download from Free online lessons and trainers in Music Theory and Course Description: This course is designed to provide instruction and preparation at the advanced level required for successful completion of the AP Music Theory Exam, including music literacy (musical notation and terminology), aural skills (sight singing and dictation), form and analysis, and composition. Enduring Understandings for Course (Performance Objectives): Music theory encompasses a logical, accessible, and useful language for documenting sound. Music literacy enables individuals to enjoy independently performing and/or creating music. Music theory explains what musicians and composers have done in the past and why it works, but it doesn't dictate what current musicians and composers have to do.
2 Major scales, minor scales, and modes are constructed using patterns of whole and half steps. They serve as the foundation upon which melody and harmonization are built. Music theory enables individuals to create original compositions and document them in a way that can be understood and interpreted by others. Music theory in western civilization is best understood as a set of rules that have been gradually and systematically broken as music has evolved. Course Learning Goals (including WA State Standards, Common Core Standards, National Standards): Unit: 1 (Fundamentals) Rhythm Notation Content Standards: GLE Demonstrate musical skills and techniques while working towards independence: reading music, performing, sight reading, conducting.

5 Formative assessments: Assignments attached to each lesson provide students the opportunity to practice new skills and demonstrate understanding of concepts covered. These assignments include written work completed and submitted using the music notation software Finale Notepad, dictation exercises completed using sound files and Notepad, and sight singing exercises recorded using Audacity and submitted in mp3 format, and listening response essays. Each unit s assignments build on the scaffolding provided by earlier units and lessons. Students are given feedback on submitted assignments, encouraged to make corrections, and allowed to re submit assignments as a way of ensuring that the grade accurately reflects student learning and achievement. Summative assessments: First semester final exam features a written portion covering the first five units, melodic and harmonic dictation, and sight singing. Second semester final exam is the AP Music Theory Exam.
