AP Music Theory

Advanced Placement Music Theory is a course and examination offered in the U.S. by the College Board as part of the Advanced Placement Program.

It is offered to high school students who wish to earn credit for a college-level music theory course. The course focuses on aural (listening) and non-aural music analysis. Students will learn to notate music, sight-sing, and analyze notated and performed music, and build musical compositions.

The AP Music Theory course corresponds to one-to-two semesters of introductory college music theory coursework. Musicianship skills, including dictation and listening skills, sightsinging, and harmony, are an important part of the course. Development of aural (listening) skills is a primary objective. Performance is also part of the curriculum through the practice of sight-singing. Students learn basic concepts and terminology by listening to and performing a wide variety of music. Notational skills, speed, and fluency with basic materials are emphasized. To become proficient with these skills, students need to consistently practice applying course concepts through aural analysis, score analysis, sight-singing, dictation, and composition.
