  • summary: AP Music Theory is a college-level course that builds a deep understanding of how music works. Students learn to read, write, analyze, and listen to music with greater precision. Core topics include music notation, scales, chords, harmony, voice leading, and form. Ear training, sight-singing, and melodic/harmonic dictation help students develop strong aural skills. The course also explores composition and part writing, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned creatively. Whether preparing for advanced study or improving musicianship, AP Music Theory gives students the tools to think and communicate like a trained musician.
