Music - Advanced Placement

AP Music Theory provides students the learning experience equivalent to a college introductory course in music theory. Major areas of study include compositional procedures, listening skills (particularly those involving recognition and comprehension of melodic and rhythmic patterns), harmonic functions, compositional techniques, music textures, music terminology, notation skills, sight-singing, and score analysis. At the end of the course, students will be prepared to successfully complete the AP Music Theory Examination.
