Course Description
In AP® Music Theory, students will identify and create the elements and processes of performed and notated music. Students will extend their knowledge from the fundamentals of pitch, rhythm, and timbre to harmonic function, phrase relationships, and tonicization. They will identify and analyze musical features, relationships, and procedures by listening to and reading music. Students will further their practice with melodic dictation, harmonic dictation, and sight singing exercises. The course is based on the eight units of required content in the AP® Music Theory Course and Exam Description outlined by College Board. These are Music Fundamentals I: Pitch, Major Scales and Key Signatures, Rhythm, Meter, and Expressive Elements, Music Fundamentals II: Minor Scales and Key Signatures, Melody, Timbre, and Texture, Music Fundamentals III: Triads and Seventh Chords, Harmony and Voice Leading I: Chord Function, Cadence, and Phrase, Harmony and Voice Leading II: Chord Progressions and Predominant Function, Harmony and Voice Leading III: Embellishments, Motives, and Melodic Devices, Harmony and Voice Leading IV: Secondary Function, and Modes and Form.


Students should be able to read and write musical notation and have basic performance skills with voice or an instrument.
