Course Description
|
Students enrolling in Music Theory I will learn how music is composed and
arranged. They will gain technical knowledge about musical notation, key
signatures, scales, intervals, and simple four-part harmonization. They will
work with keyboards and learn and practice effective sight singing and ear
training skills. Previous knowledge of the keyboard, while helpful, is not
required.
Music Theory II is intended for students who have successfully completed Music
Theory I and wish to continue into advanced theoretical study in such areas as
7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th chords; modulations; figured basses with diatonic and
chromatic harmony; non-harmonic tones; altered and applied chords; and simple
original compositions.
Advanced Placement Theory follows the curriculum prescribed by the Educational
Testing Service (ETS). In addition to reviewing and extending basic theoretical
skills learned in Music Theory I and II (e.g., ear training, sight singing,
notation, and harmony), students focus on treatment of motifs, modulations,
two-part contrapuntal texture, analysis of smaller forms, and appropriate levels
of original composition.
These courses are strongly recommended for any student who plans to major in
music. Enrollment at each high school is based upon the number of available
keyboards and is limited by the individualized nature of the curriculum.

Music Theory I:
prior permission of the instructor
Music Theory II:
