AP MUSIC THEORYCOURSE OUTLINE
Monday, July 16
Morning Session
Getting acquaintedDiscussion of teaching situations, schedules, student experience in music, quali-
fying students for AP, placement test, expectations, etc. How music theory fitsinto the high school music curriculum. The AP Music Theory Vertical TeamsGuide.
Where Are We Headed?Overview of AP Music Theory Examination
Developing aural, composition, analytical, and performance skills
Becoming fluent in the vocabulary and symbols used to describe musicalelements and their interaction
Examples of AP Music Theory Exam Activities:o Multiple-Choice questions based on both aural and non-aural
stimulus (45%)o Free-Response questions: Melodic Dictation (two questions); Har-
monic Dictation (two questions); Figured Bass Realization and Ro-man Numeral Harmonization; Melodic Harmonization (45%)
o Sight Singing (two questions) (10%)
How Do We Get There?
Using the Vertical Teams Guide for Music Theory as a Template for Creating
Lessons:
Teach ear-training and aural skills on a regular basis using a systematicand consistent approach.
Relieve students of their fear of singing.
Use music as your main textbook.
Keep written music theory from becoming your bias!
Listen to music constantly in class.

A. Creating a Lesson Using the Listening Approach: A Structured Ap-proach to Listening
Sonata in A Major, K. 331 by Mozart
Scarborough Fair/Canticle by Simon & Garfunkel
o The building blocks of melodic and harmonic dictationo Helping students develop the ability to listen perceptively and criti-
cally.o A structured, sequential curriculum utilizing listening lessons and
writing activities.o Instructional activities rather than evaluative ones.o Sensitizing students to musical ideas and elements that will be
heard before the first listening.o Training the ear to hear and articulate the elements of music.
B. Creating a Lesson Using the Visual Approach
Natures Way by Charles Ives (VTGpp. 17-18)
o Impressions of music through simple visual observationo Prescribing and structuring the visual observationo Predicting how the visual representation might sound
o Allow observations to exist at the level of knowledge that the stu-dents possesso Utilizing different genres of music and a variety of written scoreso Providing a basis for the skills of music analysis, both non-aural
and aural

Afternoon Session
Teaching Music Fundamentalsintegrating the fundamentals of ear-trainingand dictation with written theorydeveloping music literacy.
1. Theory and LanguageTeaching fundamentals is like teaching the al-phabet, word spellings, meanings and pronunciations, but this can be-come tedious and frustrating. Because context is lacking, this area canbecome tedious and frustrating. Tap into that which they already knowand emphasize the need to associate it with written music. Studentscome with a tremendous amount of stored aural knowledge and havemuch reading readiness for the study of music theory. It is our job toteach them to become thinking musicians.
2. Learning StylesRote learning is an effective and necessary tool, but itshould definitely be integrated with other approaches as well:
a. Oral quizzesb. Score analysisc. Error detectiond. Aural associatione. Association with common songs
3. Notation Get students physically involved in notation by putting music in
front of them as often as possible.
a. The aspects of sound: pitch, amplitude, timbre, envelope (articula-tion) and duration.
b. Aspects of notation as they relate to aspects of sound.
c. Representation of pitch and the musical alphabet.

A. Building and Recognizing TriadsTypical standard triads thatwe know are always stacked in thirds.
a. Using thirds and fifths to construct triads
1. Build the snowmanthe given note cannot change.2. Identify the lower third.3. Identify the upper third.4. Identify the fifth.5. Identify the chord with a letter (the bottom note of the
snowman and add the quality.
b. Visual and aural recognition of the chords
c. Inversion of Triads
1. Inversion symbols2. Figured bass symbols3. Building chords from Figured Bass or Inversion symbols.4. Identifying chords using proper terminology.5. Aural recognition of root vs. inverted position6. Score studymelodic implications: Hymn: O Word of
God Incarnate arr. by Felix Mendelssohn.
Point of Discussion:It is important that the teacher familiarize students with thevarious ways of labeling chords by interchanging like terminology. Is it a C 6-4, aC major in second inversion, a C major with the fifth in the bass, a G with a 6thand 4th above, etc.? It is, of course, all of the above and only experience will al-low the student the ability to judge the label best suited for the context.
B. Building and Recognizing Seventh Chords
a. Given the types of triads and types of sevenths there are six-teen possibilities of seventh chords. Only five are used in thecommon-practice style.
Five Basic 7thChords:
1. Major 7th2. Dominant 7th3. minor 7th4. half-diminished 7th5. fully-diminished 7th

[8]
b. Follow similar steps outlined for triads and their inversionsinversion symbols for seventh chords:
6-5, first inversion4-3, second inversion
4-2, third inversion
Application: Create problems that test the student's knowledge of the material.Try to make questions which test more than just a single area of study. An ex-ample of a good problem is: Write an Ab major triad on the staff in alto clef andinclude the note C4. Sing the interval from the lowest note to the highest note.(Answers will vary depending upon voicing and doubling. This is good in that itleads to further discussion.)

ODE TO THE PERFECT PART-WRITING EXERCISE
One who'd compose four equal voicesAlready knows he has few choices;
If you can hold a noteplease do!
Or move it but a stepor two.
Never jump outside your range
Or by an intervalthat strains;
I'm sure you all avoid as well
Octaves and fifthsin parallel
I won't tell you which note to double,
But if its a seventh,you're in trouble!That holds as well for the leading-tone
Which goes to 1 or 5 alone.
Watch spacingin and between staffs
And don't let voices crosstheir paths.
And, at the risk of sounding like a whiner;
Please sharp that 7when you're in minor!

STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH AP MUSIC THEORYFREE RESPONSE QUESTIONS
Compiled by Dr. Terry Eder
Free Response Questions 1 & 2: Melodic Dictation
1. Look at the given key signature, time signature, and first note and be prepared todetermine the mode of the melody. One dictation will be in a major keyone will be in aminor key; one will be in treble clefone will be in bass clef.
2. Be prepared for the melody to be in simple OR compound meter and know what patternsin different meters look like and feel like.
3. Make predictions about what you might expect to hear. The melody will probably end onthe tonic so write this in at the end and try to identify the duration (in 4/4 time the finalnote will probably be a half note; in 6/8 time it will probably be a dotted quarter note).
4. Work to leave your pencil on your desk during the entire first hearing and try to memorizethe melody.
5. On the first hearing try to get the beginning and ending down.6. Try to divide the melody into phrases (usually 2) and listen for contour (ascending and
descending) as well as things that are alike and things that are different.7. Associate the pitches with your system (preferably solfege-movable DO in my opinion)
and determine where the melody moves by step and where there are skips.
8. Try to listen in chunks and relate the notes to each other by interval according to thekey and scale degree relationships.
9. Never give upif you are having trouble, keep scrapping to write the dictation until yourtime runs out!
10. In minordont forget to raise the 7thscale degree to leading tone!
Free Response Questions 3 & 4: Harmonic Dictation
1. Harmonic dictation may seem to be more difficult than melodic dictation but actually it isjust a different set of problems.
2. You are required to notate the soprano and bass voices and under each staff provide theRoman and Arabic numerals that indicate the chords and their inversions.
3. Look at the key and know where the notes for tonic, subdominant, and dominant are
located on the staves. Listen for basic harmonic movement according to the common-practice style.
4. Make predictions about what you will hearif you have expectations, your listening willbe much more effective.
5. Make the bass the base of harmonic dictation. Listen to the bass line FIRST andnotate it. The durations in these questions are always straight quarter notes or halfnotes, so you can probably get the bass line down on the first two hearings. If not, keeplistening until you get it down. This will provide you with a basis for determining theharmonic progression since the bass part helps to define harmony.
6. The last chord will most likely be a I chord, but not always. It could be a vi forming adeceptive cadence or it could end on a Vforming a half cadence. But if you go to the lastnote and enter a Iunder it, most of the time you wont have to change it because it will becorrect when you hear the progression.
7. If you are able to get the bass line down in the first two hearings of the progression,during the third hearing listen to the soprano line and notate it. Be sure that you havedetermined what note the melody begins on and think what that note sounds like in thekey. If possible begin to listen to the quality of the chords alsomost of them willnaturally be major, minor, diminished, or 7
thchords.
8. Listen for any altered tonesit most likely will mean there is a secondary dominant orleading tone chord happening.
9. When you get the bass and soprano notes written down determine which chords mightwork with those notes. Think logically and sensibly.

119/218
3
6. Use basic primary chords: I, IV, V, ii. Dont use iiior III. Stay away from vii.7. Decide which notes of the melody are more important: those that are longer; those that
are on the beat.8. Once you have written the cadences, you are over a third finished.9. Now just connect the dots with standard common-practice progressions. Keep contrary
motion in mind, but use similar and oblique motion as well.10. An accidental may signal a secondary dominant (especially the raised 4
thscale degree).
Sight-Singing: Questions 1 & 2
1. Look at the key signature and check the beginning and ending notes to determinewhether the example is in a major or minor key.
2. One will be in majorthe other will be in minor; one will be in simple meterthe other willbe in compound; one will be in treble clefthe other will be in bass clef.
3. Dont stop once you begin because points are deducted for hesitation.4. Take a fairly slow tempo in order to give yourself plenty of time from one note to the next.5. Write syllables or scale degree numbers on the music, especially Do, Mi, and Sol or 1, 3,
and 5. Sing while you write so that you dont waste any practice time.6. During the 75 secondsPRACTICEand do it OUT LOUD! Pick an appropriate pitch
range for your voice (you do not have the take the pitch that the tape playsbe sure tosing the exercise in the key in which you have practiced it). Most of the time the given
pitch will work for everyone, so be careful about changing the key.7. Sing using the system you know best, but in the end, if you begin to stumble with the
systemjust get it done anyway you cansing LA, LA, LA if you have to in order to keepfrom stopping.
8. Breathe anywhere since phrasing is not graded, but be careful not to make the breath solong that the duration of a note is shortened to the extent that it becomes a differentduration.
9. Hold all notes for their FULL valueand dont forget about the duration of the last note!

Perfect 4ths: These exercises show how practice can shift easily from simple to
compound meter and from major to minor keys (of course when using scale degree
numbers the system does not allow for mode change and students must know the pattern
of whole steps and half steps in the different modes).

Perfect 5ths: The following exercise focuses on practicing perfect 5ths both ascending
and descending and, by filling in the 3rd
, it also helps to practice triads in a major key (the
diminished triad Ti-Re-Fais included as well and of course has the only 5th
that is not
perfect).
