Summer Work List - 2011

Letter & Instructions
Answer Sheet

Attention all AP Theory Students - please review and complete the above work list in preparation for the Fall.

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.
