abstract

this is a collection of assignments, projects, exams, and syllabi meant to cover the entire lower-division written music theory sequence. there are over 100 unique documents available in .pdf format.

the materials include 73 worksheets on 35 unique topics (most have 2 versions to allow for practice and graded assignments), 16 larger analysis and composition projects, 16 exams on 8 unique topic sets, and 4 syllabi.

while inherently modular, these materials are designed to align with the topics found in the free online textbook open music theory.

in some cases i have omitted audio links, scores, and lyrics from these materials, due to copyright restrictions. in such cases, instructors are encouraged to seek out and include the specified works, or alternate works of their choosing, for educational use.

unless otherwise stated, all materials in this collection are copyright © 2017 by kyle gullings and licensed under a creative commons attribution-share alike 4.0 international license. i encourage others to use, share, edit, and build upon these materials, and to contact me to inform me about any such uses. please include the following attribution anywhere the materials are posted:
