Haven’t found the time to take Basic Music Theory? This intensive version of our standard 36-week course is just the answer! This class reviews the fundamentals of music theory (note-reading, meter, scales/key signatures), with more in-depth work on intervals, chords, Roman Numeral analysis, embellishing tones, dictation skills, tune harmonization, and beginning Species Counterpoint, geared for teens and adults. Because of the condensed time frame, students should be prepared to supplement their course work with independent work between classes.
Fee: $20 registration fee; $342* tuition; $270 if enrolled in individual lessons at Hochstein. (Fees are as of Summer 2024.)
AP MUSIC THEORY I: FORM & HARMONY
Andrew Blake, Instructor
6 Mondays & 6 Wednesdays, July 8-August 14, 2024
6:30-8:00 pm
for students entering grades 10-12 and adults
Pre-requisite: Basic Music Theory
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, musical form, figured bass, harmonization, and secondary chords. In addition, students will engage in written and listening analysis and dictation and sight-singing, but the class does not cover all materials necessary for preparation for the AP test. Because of the condensed time frame, students should be prepared to supplement their course work with independent work between classes.
Fee: $20 registration fee; $342* tuition; $270 if enrolled in individual lessons at Hochstein. (Fees are as of Summer 2024.)
