Theory for Teens covers the same material, but moves at a faster pace with the expectation that more independent work will be carried out between classes. 13 to 18-year-olds: Music Theory for Teens Levels I and II.It normally takes four years to complete Levels I and II. Class time is spent on presenting, developing and internalizing the skills and concepts necessary for mastery. This program moves at a pace appropriate for the 9 to 12-year-old student. 9 to 12-year-olds: Music Theory Levels I and II.4 to 9-year-olds: Musicianship-Eurhythmics Levels I–IV.Three levels of music theory are designed for students of specific ages. The Music Theory Department recognizes the significant changes taking place during a student’s elementary, middle and high school years, and offers developmentally appropriate classes for younger performers as well as students who are in high school. Introductory Music Theory TracksĪ developmental perspective informs the design of the program. NEC Prep music theory students may also be interested in Composition and Jazz Theory courses. Students who successfully complete the upper level music theory courses perform well on the AP Music Theory Exam and often place out of the first year of conservatory/collegiate music theory and musicianship requirements, allowing them to focus on more advanced music theory studies and other musical electives. Through analytical work, they interpret complete pieces that inform their performances of their own lesson repertoire. Students advancing through the upper levels of theory studies learn how to write tonal music using common practice harmony and counterpoint rules. They internalize the basic conducting patterns, scale degrees, and solfège syllables and learn to keep their place melodically and rhythmically while performing their exercises. For younger students at earlier levels, theory studies reinforce critical musicianship skills that they encounter in their private lessons: scales, intervals, key signatures, chords, notated rhythms, and note reading in multiple clefs. NEC Prep’s dynamic Music Theory department combines theory and practice. Michael Weinstein, Music Theory Department Chair
