AP Music Theory

The ultimate goal of an AP Music Theory course is to develop a student’s ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a score. The course will instill mastery of rudiments of terminology in music, including notation, intervals, scales and keys, chords, metric organization and rhythmic patterns. It is assumed that the student has acquired at least basic performance skills in voice or on an instrument.
