AP Music

I have tried (and failed) for the last six years to get an AP Music theory class approved.  Many students have asked for the class.  Finally, I decided I would run an AP "study group".   We would buy the book, purchase Musition/Auralia, meet occasionally and hope for the best.  I told the students we would run most assignments through their participation in band and choir.

I was pleasantly surprised that 11 (maybe 12?) students agreed to start the process.  I have done a lot of ARE YOU SURE??? but they haven't bailed yet.  I'm excited that so many students have decided to try.

Here is my Day 1 assignment:
