The AP Music Theory Class I teach, switched to the Nancy Scoggin book after trying another text for a year. I am so pleased with this book. The kids can understand it and learn. We had a 100% pass rate last year. Not sure if we are going to repeat that rate but it was great for the students. The 2nd addition adds extra exercises. I had a chance to attend an AP Music Theory workshop taught by Nancy Scoggin. She is great. If you get a chance, be sure to attend. The great thing about the book, is it gives the reader, strategies for passing the test. If the reader will just learn the material and follow all the hints in the book, they will pass the test. For teachers, you will need to add some addition material for your class, but this book is so much better than the "big name textbook" we used the first year. I would buy both the first and second edition because you will have two extra AP tests that you can give to students or use in your instruction.
This book has all the content needed to know more then what is nesessary for passing the test. However it is written very academically and uses dense test that is sometime hard to follow. Unfortunately this book was not quite what I needed to self study the course, I ended up using other sources more like musictheory.net. However this book does have good practice for all sections of the test, except for the aural multiple choice. If the company wanted to improve this book they should include more samples of the 2nd part of the test for practice, work on shortening paragraphs into bullets and lists and charts, have more charts, and add lessons on the aural multiple choice section that goes more in depth on what you should listen for.However the CD that came with it was top notch!
Helpful book. Son used this book and it helped. He got a 5 out of 5 on the AP exam and received full credit for this class for college.
My son is taking this class as a junior in High School and I'm not sure if it is because my son is advanced or the class course is not following the materials referenced in the book. Whatever the case may be my son hasn't really used the book that much and is still getting an A in the class. But it is also hard to go wrong with Barrons materials. I guess it depends not he students knowledge as well.
Definitely worth the buy, it took about 2 weeks to get delivered. Overall it helps with the AP class, and good for review! It has great examples for sight singing and for harmonizing melodies
Really an outstanding book on Musical theory. I will shortly be taking piano lessons with Vladimir Viardo so in preparation I have decided to review and relearn the contents of this book. Well organized , easy to read but can be slow at times to digest. Next time I will order a cherry in stead of grape flavor
I just took my AP Music Theory exam Monday and can honestly say this book did wonders. The book goes from the basics all the way to complex topics like part-writing, aural and sight-singing skills. Hopefully I get a 5!!!
Great reference. My music teacher had us order this as a complete study guide for the ap test. great help. Has a lot of tests in the book that helped me study
