Students may take advantage of a curriculum–sharing partnership between Hochstein and Eastman Community Music School. The classes listed below are offered at Hochstein, and additional offerings are available at Eastman CMS. 

AP Music Theory: Form & Harmony

Andrew Blake, Instructor

Wednesdays, 7:00-8:00 pm

Please note that this class is canceled for the 2023-24 school year. To inquire about other music theory classes, please contact the front office at 585.454.4596.

 

Building on the concepts learned in Basic Theory, this class reviews chords and Roman Numeral analysis, while delving more completely into the areas of cadence types, figured bass, harmonization, and secondary chords.  In addition, students will engage in some written and listening analysis and dictation and sight-singing, but it does not cover all materials necessary for preparation for the AP test. 

 

Pre-requisite: Basic Music TheoryStudents who have some Music Theory experience but aren’t sure they are ready for AP Music Theory should take the theory placement exam to assess which class is the right placement for them.
