AP kiddos had some budding moments of brilliance on Day 71! Dictating melodic movement, aural chord classification, and chart of love all in one exercise?!?! Boom! #CountUp

On Day 59, my AP kiddos declared that ‘music is just rude’. 🤣🤣🤣 #CountUp

AP kiddos are getting the hang of chord spelling, plc meeting with our fabulous art teachers, and killer choir concert to end the night. Day 52 was a good day. ♥️ #CountUp

Tackled some intense harmonic analysis on Day 51. Aaannnddd… they killed it! #CountUp for realz. 🤓🦔🎶♥️

Day 48? You mean, Best Day Ever! #CountUp

Wrapped up Unit 2 Summatives on Day 44! Wish my AP kiddos were as confident in their knowledge as I am. 😊♥️🎶 #CountUp

Busting out some fancy vocab on Day 42! Anacrusis? Melismatic? Agogic? We got this. #CountUp

Day 41 means it’s time to prep for Unit Two assessments! #CountUp

Um… no, my young ones. I am not wearing a Hamilton shirt for Decades Day. @remhq and I are so disappointed.

Day 34 (a.k.a. Day 33, take two) went better, but still a head scratcher. But it’s time to move on and we’ll dip back to it when it comes back naturally. Sometimes we just need time to digest… #CountUp

Day 33 was a huge win, then an epic fail… but that’s on me. So I’m calling a do-over. Day 33, Part Two is going to be a good one! #CountUp

Day 31 already?!?! 🤩🤩🤩 Make sure you follow Henry on the ‘Gram for all your AP tips and tricks. #CountUp

Learn by doing on Day 28. Accidentals matter, people! 🤣🤣🤣 #CountUp

First notated compositions on Day 27. Instrumentation included soprano steel drums, kazoos, and a duet for bassoon and cat meows. #CountUp

Day 26, again? Maybe I can’t count. 😉 Today’s AP mantra… Solfege vowels have purpose! #CountUp

A shortened schedule on Day 26 meant running out of time before the big reveal… but it just makes prepping for tomorrow that much better. #CountUp

Take that, Day 24! AP kiddos transferred their previous knowledge into a minor mode with a vengeance! #CountUp

Day 23 was a rough one. A bit of a mind-explosion took us off task and we struggled to get back on… but we’ll shake it off and come back with some force tomorrow. #CountUp

Day 20 means Tonic Triad! First step, audiate. Second step, dictate. No stopping us now! #CountUp

When Day 19’s summative collides with 80s Day… listening prompts feature Prince, Journey, Tears for Fears, and Tiffany while melodic analyses star Bon Jovi and The Go Gos! #CountUp
