<p>I'm self-studying for the A.P. Music Theory exam. I bought my self tonal harmony, the barrons review book and a book helping me sight sing. I'm curious to find out where are you guys standing on the course now? What are you guys up to?</p>
<p>I took it sophomore year. Sight singing is nerve wracking. I go to a Fine Arts School that’s probably the best high school program for fine arts for many miles around, and a singer was in my class. His voice was shaky and not very confident on the exam. You can just imagine me doing it 
Four part harmony is a HUGE part of the exam. My teacher was really good though so I actually didn’t get any books or anything other than the resources she gave to us, and I got a 5.</p>
<p>P.S. The music they pick to make you listen to is weird sometimes. Last year there was K-pop on it :-D</p>
<p>Do you remember where you guys were up to in mid january? I don’t know if im behind or in front of most students currently taking it lol. thank you :)</p>
<p>I really don’t, sorry. I know that we were probably not doing too much four part harmony, and our sight singing wasn’t very complicated yet. That’s all I really remember.</p>
<p>do you sight sing in front a person, or in front a recording device??</p>
<p>Oh, you should definitely be fine, this class is a really easy self-study course. Right now I think my class has pretty much covered everything in the curriculum other than musical texture and different kinds of articulation. But pretty much as long as you know four-part harmony and figured bass, the free-response should be no problem. The melodic dictations are a pain without perfect pitch, though.</p>
<p>binatang, your sight-singing examples are recorded via a recorder or a computer. However, the proctor will probably be in the room to control the recording equipment. Good luck!</p>
