A Special Message for New Teachers
Dear Music Theory Teacher,
Are you teaching College Level, AP, IB, or basic music theory? We've got you covered. Between planning rehearsals, instrumental lessons, teaching music theory classes, and grading analysis, part-writing, and ear-training homework, we know you are busy. Harmonia can help. While there are lots of music theory resources out there, our content has been created by real theory teachers - teachers with high-school and college-level teaching experience, teachers who are certified public-school teachers, and teachers who attend annual AP readings.
Browse our extensive Harmonia Content Library (accessible with your free teacher account) filled with hundreds of lessons and exercises available to all Harmonia instructors. You can also create your own assignments and import them, or leverage Harmonia's Score Generators to generate new custom content for your courses.
And the best feature? Harmonia actually grades your students' work, saving you hours of valuable time per week and offering your students instant, pedagogical feedback.
Once the grading takes place, Harmonia shows your students' their incorrect analytical entries / improper part writing, and provides detailed feedback, explaining the nature of the error to users, at the top of the page. All graded feedback is sent to our Cloud-based server for teacher review.
Help your students develop their analysis and part writing skills. Build exam prep materials by setting our assessment guides to match AP/IB rubrics. Harmonia's assignment generators include many AP congruent exercises in addition to advanced college courses that involve chromatic harmoniy and species counterpoint.
Sincerely yours,
Rachel Mann

Let's Get Started
Important: Some startup tasks will be performed on this website. Other tasks will be performed in the Harmonia application (see below).
CREATE YOUR TEACHER'S ACCOUNT
Click the Sign Up button in the upper right corner of this web page to create your Harmonia account and user dashboard. Be sure to click "request teacher account" when setting your account information. Your teacher's account enables additional features such as creating and customizing courses, browsing our ready-made interactive worksheets and homework assignments, or creating your own course materials and uploading them to your courses.
CREATE YOUR FIRST COURSE
Sign into your website dashboard and click the Add Course button
CREATE YOUR FIRST COURSE
In your course dashboard page locate the course's invitation code. Share this code with your students so they can join the course. You will need to confirm students that have joined your course in the People tab.
Your course can use a site licence (payment by school or teacher) or it can require that students pay a flat subscription based on the number of weeks the course runs. Please see the Pricing page for more information.
CREATING YOUR OWN WORKSHEETS
It's easy to create your own course materials using our in-app score generators or by importing scores from MusicXml. Please consult our teacher documentation to learn more, such as this quick guide.
When you've created a teacher account online, and used the same account information to sign into the Harmonia application, you will then have access to additional features, such as saving documents, access to all 371 of Bach's Chorales (and not just 10 of them), and score generators to create notations for scale exercises, advanced part writing, and more.
Notations only become "gradable" for students when you convert a notation to an assessment. Our support pages discuss the process of converting various kinds of scores into assessments.
