Beginning with the most basic of fundamentalsand moving rapidly to more advanced topics, students in this course will strive to attain mastery of notational concepts, compositional techniques and aural skills to a degree that is commensurate with a first-year collegiate music theory course.  \nRequired Materials  \nPencil (mechanical pencils are best) PENS MAY NOT BE USED IN THIS CLASS Dedicated 3-Ring binder (with hard cover)  \nMusic manuscript paper (must use that which is provided in class)  \nGrading Policy  \nQuarter grades will be given in accordance with the following formula: Class participation 60%  \nQuizzes & Tests 30%  \nHomework 10%  \nQuizzes and Tests:  \nSome classes will begin with a pop quiz on recently covered material. Students missing the quiz due to unexcused tardiness will not be allowed to make up the quiz. The pop quizzes will combine to represent a full test grade at the end of the quarter. Major tests are given at the end of significant sections of the course and during GHS Mid-term and Final Exam weeks. Beginning-of-class pop quizzes will be averaged to create one test grade each quarter.  \nCourse Content  \nPart I: Fundamentals of Pitch  \nThe Keyboard  \nHalf and Whole Steps  \nFlats, Sharps and Naturals  \nChromatic Scale  \nWhole Tone Scale  \nThe Staff  \nTreble and Bass Clefs  \nOctave Registers  \nC Clefs  \nAP Music Theory Mr. Taylor  \nCourse Content (continued)  \nPart II: Fundamentals of Rhythm  \nRhythm vs. Meter  \nNotes, Note Heads, Stems  \nRests  \nFlags and Beams  \nBeat and Tempo  \nSubdivision of the Beat  \nMeasures and Bar Lines  \nSimple Meter  \nSimple Time Signatures  \nCompound Meter  \nCompound Time Signatures  \nDots, Ties  \nRepeat Signs, First and Second Endings, Da Capo, Dal Segno, Coda  \nPart III: Tonality  \nTetrachords  \nThe Major Scale  \nThe Pentatonic Scale  \nScale Degree Names  \nMajor Key Signatures  \nCircle of Fifths  \nPerfect, Major, and Minor Intervals  \nAugmented and Diminished Intervals  \nInterval Inversion  \nConsonant and Dissonant Intervals  \nModes  \nForms of the Minor Scale  \nMinor Key Signatures  \nRelative Major/Minor Keys  \nParallel Major/Minor Keys  \nPart IV: Harmony  \nChords  \nTriads  \nSeventh Chords  \nInversions of Triads & Seventh Chords  \nInversion Symbols  \nLead Sheet Symbols  \nRoman Numerals  \nDiatonic Triads in Major Keys  \nDiatonic Triads in Minor Keys  \nDiatonic Seventh Chords in Major Keys  \nDiatonic Seventh Chords in Minor Keys  \nAP Music Theory Mr. Taylor  \nCourse Content (continued)  \nPart V: Part Writing  \nVoice Parts  \nPrinciples of Voice Leading  \nChord Doubling  \nVoicing a Single Triad  \nHarmonic Motion  \nRoot Position Part Writing  \nHarmonic Progression  \nThe Cadence  \nSequences and the Circle of Fifths Progression  \nDifferences in the Minor Mode  \nUsing Seventh Chords  \nUsing First Inversion Chords  \nThe Cadential Six-Four  \nThe Passing Six-Four  \nThe Neighboring Six-Four  \nUsing Third Inversion Chords  \nPart VI: Non-chord Tones  \nPassing Tone  \nNeighbor Tone  \nEscape Tone (Échapeé)  \nChanging Tone  \nAnticipation  \nAppoggiatura  \nSuspension and Retardation  \nPart VII: Changing Keys  \nTonicization  \nSecondary Dominant Chords  \nMajor/Minor Modulation  \nPicardy Third  \nDiatonic Modulation  \nChromatic Modulation  \nPart VIII: Melody  \nMelodic Contour  \nQualities of Good Melodies  \nBasic Melody Writing  \nHarmonizing a Melody  \nTransposing a Melody  \nAlberti Bass  \nFigured Bass  \nMelody with Accompaniment  \nAP Music Theory Mr. Taylor  \nCourse Content (continued)  \nPart IX: Form  \nPhrases and Periods  \nMotives  \nBinary, Rounded Binary and Ternary Forms  \nSong Forms  \nCompositional Forms in Classical Musi","cbCaiiWdv8iC1BAO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiWdv8iC1BAO","pdf",60224,"English","# Objective of Course\n# Required Materials\n# Grading Policy\n# Quizzes and Tests\n# Course Content\n## Part I: Fundamentals of Pitch\n## Part II: Fundamentals of Rhythm\n## Part III: Tonality\n## Part IV: Harmony\n## Part V: Part Writing\n## Part VI: Non-chord Tones\n## Part VII: Changing Keys\n## Part VIII: Melody\n## Part IX: Form\n## Part X: Test Preparation\n## Part XI: Additional Topics\n# Ear Training and Vocal Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the AP Music Theory course?\",\"answer\":\"Students investigate 18th-century harmonic practices forming the foundation of Western music.
