AP Music Theory

 

is designed to develop musical skills that will lead to a thorough understanding of music theory, aural skills including dictation and sight-singing, and basic composition. The AP Music Theory class is recommended for students who have a strong interest in music and can already demonstrate the ability to read and write musical notation. It is also assumed that the student has acquired (or is acquiring) performance skills on an instrument or vocally. Examples of the material covered in the course involve dictation and other listening skills, sight-singing, music terminology, musical analysis, basic composition, chord structure and harmony, and other areas of music theory. This class will help any student become a better musician with a higher understanding of musical art.
