Description: AP Music Theory is an in-depth look into how music is constructed. The course involves analyzing notated music, composing music, dictating melodies and harmonies that you hear, and singing melodies and harmonies at first sight. The course primarily focuses on the music composition practices of the Common Practice Period (1600-1900) but also considers more contemporary music. This is a college-level course and prepares students to pass the AP Music Theory Exam.
