Announcements
* Exemption test for first-semester theory (MUS121): Students who received a 4 on the AP Music Theory exam will be given credit for MUS 114: Introduction to Theory and Composition. Students who received a 5 on the AP Music Theory Exam will be given credit for MUS 121 and may move on to MUS 122 in the spring semester.
Students who wish to attempt to exempt MUS 121, the first theory course in the 4-course theory sequence required for music majors, may take an exam for this purpose on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The written portion will be held at 10:00 a.m. and the aural skills portion will begin at 2:00 p.m.
Students who pass the exam successfully may exempt MUS 121 and move on to MUS 122 in the spring semester.
Music majors who successfully exempt theory courses (121, 122) must replace these credit hours with other music courses (not 300, 310, or 320). AP Theory does NOT count toward the music minor.
The exam will be held in the Burlington Road Building (1804 North Decatur Road) - watch for signs when you enter the building.
* Melissa Cox serves as a College Board Representative to the AP Music Theory Test Development Committee.
* Kristin Wendland is working on an online Music Appreciation textbook for Prentice-Hall Publisher.
