AP Music Theory... anybody??

Posted by Kelsey Coleman on May 28, 2010 at 10:46pm
I'm just curious... does your H.S. offer AP Music Theory as a class? In MI, they do... but it's usually the 'higher class', 'rich'.. whatever you wanna call them schools that offer it. I was just wondering does your school? 

My school doesn't.. which is a shame to me because alot of us in the music program plan to take it on to college.. and plan to be Music Educators.

    As long as your band/choir/orchestra director takes the AP training and gets AP certified, you can take the AP Theory test at the end of the year.

    The place I work at offers the class, but as a dumping ground for non-musicians. We teach it as a Music Appreciation/Beginning Band class. But the kids that really need to take it are juniors and seniors that plan to major in music.

    Why do they do that? Just curious cuz when they tried to start a band out here they would do the same thing. At least ya'll got a band!

    Because the average counselor at "our" schools didn't read the part of the book that deals with scheduling kids and keeping them on track to graduate...

    That's a whole 'nother topic there...

    There's so MANY factors working against us trying to make a band work up here...we just polish it up nice for competitions...

    ...and some of these counselors look like you and I...which makes it even worse.
