If It Isn’t Baroque is a study of the history of the music in the western world. It begins with the study of music in ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc., and progresses through Biblical times, Medieval times, the Renaissance, and modern music. Explanations are given to the student of the differences in the types of music, and instructions are given to make some of the instruments from ancient and Biblical times. Suggested listening activities are given for the various types of music, and activities are suggested for the student to research them more deeply. These lessons should be studied in consecutive order as they progress through time and therefore build on each other.

Music Theory I gives written instruction with activities for elementary and secondary grades. Each lesson gives instruction to further your student’s understanding of notes, tempo, rests, dynamics, and more. The student progresses through many of the basics necessary to be able to read and interpret music while being given examples to listen to in order to understand what is being taught. These lessons should be followed in sequential order as they build on the prior lessons. Upon successful completion of all 16 lessons, the student will earn one-half credit of a high school Music Theory I course.

The student progresses to melodic and harmonic intervals, meters, time signatures, key signatures, and more. These lessons should be followed in sequential order as they build on the prior lessons, and should follow Music Theory I. Upon successful completion of all 16 lessons, the student will earn one-half credit of a high school Music Theory II course.
