This class is a rigorous, in-depth look into music and how it is put together. There is homework every night. Homework is consistently graded for accuracy and not just completion. Assigned Topic Questions in AP Classroom (given either before or during class) will confirm your understanding of topics before you attempt your homework. Once you complete the Topic Questions, you will receive rationales that will help you understand why an answer is correct or incorrect, and reveal content and skills you need to practice. Completing these questions will help you perform better on your homework and other graded assignments. Music theory is a skill that is developed slowly and methodically. You must hand in all homework assignments to pass the class. All who take the class are expected to take the AP Music Theory Exam in May. Singing is a crucial component of AP Music Theory and will be tested on the AP Music Theory Exam. You will be expected to sing every day.
