Learning Music’s Structure

April 15, 2015

For those with an inclination towards music, learning the full particulars of musical structure is very important.  AP Music Theory, taught by Mr. McElroy is a class where students learn the ways in which music is arranged and the reasons behind those arrangements .

Learning music theory assist in the creation of musical pieces and provides students with a higher knowledge surrounding music.

“It’s great because we learn the fundamentals of music.  We start from the ground up and get to learn how music works. It has given me a much greater appreciation for music.” Said AP Music Theory student, Andres Hernandez(12).

Knowing the structure of the music that many of these students play helps them develop a better apprehension and familiarity with music’s framework.

Many of the students in the class have a basis of musical knowledge before going into the class. However, even people with a deep knowledge of music structure and composition will certainly learn new ideas and concepts.

“It’s really interesting and overall a very chill class, the environment is pretty relaxed and everyone knows each other.” Said Nikaela Goodman (11) another student currently taking AP Music Theory.

The class itself consist of people who love and appreciate music.  The common interest throughout the class brings about a welcoming atmosphere where students can pursue their interest.

Music Theory is an excellent class for anyone who plays or has an interest in music and its composition.
