Students can receive additional assignments from college music theory textbooks that extend the knowledge of our theory workbooks. Struggling Learner Recommendations Students who struggle would be offered music theory flashcards and study guides for assignments. Students can seek assistance during flex or after school by appointment. Revised - April 29, 2017 Course plans represent district curriculum.
