AP Music theory (part 1) - Fundamental theory concepts.
- 5
Brief Introduction
Basic music theory - From note spellers to cadencesDescription
This class will go over every single concept in AP music theory from the very beginning. It will cover all the chapters in Julie Johnson's Guide to AP music theory and use ABRSM theory books as well as College board AP music theory guide as references. This class will include strategies for the test and practice problems just like the AP test. It will prepare you well for the AP test. Specifically, this part will cover pretty much everything besides four part writing and continuo realizations. I will reserve those two concepts in the part 2 lecture, as they are pretty complicated and extensive.
