The AP Music Theory course corresponds to one-to-two semesters of typical, introductory college music theory coursework that covers topics such as musicianship, theory, and musical materials and procedures. Musicianship skills, including dictation and listening skills, sight- singing, and harmony, are an important part of the course. Through the course, students develop the ability to recognize, understand, and describe basic materials and processes of tonal music that are heard or presented in a score. Development of aural (listening) skills is a primary objective. Performance is also part of the curriculum through the practice of sight-singing. Students learn basic concepts and terminology by listening to and performing a wide variety of music. Notational skills, speed, and fluency with basic materials are emphasized.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: All students are required to attend all classes and be on time.
KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Be respectful and mindful of your peers and the instruments. Do not play an instrument unless given permission to do so.
LEAVE IT CLEANER THAN YOU FOUND IT: You are expected to clean up after yourself everyday. Do not leave instruments out of place, trash on the floor, or your stuff in the classroom. Pick up after yourself. Please fold and put away all stands.
SAFE SPACE: Please help create a safe space in the music room. We will never judge or make fun of another student for trying their best or trying something new.
