Introduction:
This course will
begin with a review
of written theory
concepts presented
in Musicianship
I and II. Upon
completion of
this course, the
expectation is
that all students
will take the
AP Music Theory
Exam. This is
a benchmark exam
for High School
Music Theory knowledge.
This test is used
in determining
if you might be
eligible to test
out of basic theory
at the college
level as a music
major. (A score
of 4 or 5 is usually
required to do
so). As an Advanced
Placement Course,
this class carries
a weighted grade
at Lafayette High
School and as
such will require
as much or more
effort as any
other weighted
class at LHS.
As a SCAPA Music
student, taking
AP Theory, you
have been given
a strong foundation
in music theory
- this is a year
to concentrate
and refine the
skills and knowledge
toward becoming
a musician with
a strong foundation
in music theory.
