Online AP Music Theory
at American Heritage School
Instructor: Kayson Brown
The ultimate goal of this AP Music Theory course is to develop each student’s ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard and presented in a score. The course focuses on the development of five fundamental skills:
- Aural skills (recognizing intervals, scales, modes, rhythms, meters and other musical elements)
- Sight-singing skills (reading music at first sight through the use of tonic sol-fa singing)
- Written skills (learning and applying principles harmony, voice leading from the common practice period)
- Compositional skills (creating original music that follows compositional practices of the common practice period)
- Analytical skills (examining written music to discover the compositional elements that make it what it is)
