OMT01 AP Music
Theory (Directed study: 10 units)
AP Music Theory offers
advanced music students as well as students with limited musical
knowledge a way to further develop their abilities and strengthen
their skills in various musical domains. The course covers topics
ranging from the basics of notation and the elements of music through
melodic structures, harmony—both functional and theoretical—and
musical form. The majority of the course is computer graded so
students can move at their individual paces and focus on concepts
where their current knowledge needs further strengthening. Class
colloquiums are given weekly. Through musical listening in these
sessions, the students collaboratively develop a way to discuss the
technical and the social aspects of musical works. The course
requires no previous musical knowledge.
