A. P. Music Theory 2013-2014 Grades 10-12 Ms. Socha [email protected] 973-616-6000 ext. 6123 Purpose Students enrolled in this course will learn the materials of Music Theory as set forth in the guides published by the Education Testing Service, in preparation for taking the AP exam in Music Theory. Students will study harmony, counterpoint, ear training, melodic and harmonic dictation, voice leading, non-harmonic tones, modulation, and other aspects of how music is created. Through a combination of written work, listening exercises, and sight-singing, they will gain proficiencies in those areas crucial to success on the AP exam. Student Outcomes The students will be able to: a. Notate pitch and rhythm in accordance with standard notation practices. b. Read melodies in treble, bass, and movable C clefs. c. Write, sing, and play major scales and all three forms of minor scales. d. Recognize by ear and by sight all intervals within an octave. e. Use the basic rules that govern music composition. f. Harmonize a melody with appropriate chords using good voice leading. g. Analyze the chords of a musical composition by number and letter name. h. Transpose a composition from one key to another. i. Express musical ideas by composing and arranging. j. Understand and recognize basic musical forms: ternary, binary, rondo, etc. k. Write simple rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictation.

Recognize standard musical algorithms Evaluation Trimester period grade: 50% Tests/Quizzes 20% Quarterly 20% Projects 10% Homework All assignments are to be turned in on the date they are due. Any work handed in late is subject to a 5% loss of credit per day late with a maximum of 10 days late. For example, if a student hands in an assignment one day late, and the total amount of points for the assignment was 100 points, the maximum score the student can receive is a 95. As stated in the student handbook, students must make up required work missed during an excused absence. Students have one day of make up time for each day of excused absence. Students will not lose the 5% credit as long as the work is turned in during the make up time allotted. As stated in the student handbook, work missed during truancies or cuts cannot be made up. The student will receive zero credit for that work. Textbook and Materials Textbook: Kostka and Payne, Tonal Harmony, 7th edition. McGraw Hill. © 2013.
