Course Overview

AP® Music Theory is intended for high school students who have an interest in music and would like to further their understanding of musical harmony, form, and structure, or gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate elements in music. The principal study in the course is based on Common Practice Period style (1600-1900); however, music of other stylistic periods, including the contemporary period, will also be studied.

The course will be administered via Canvas online through Sparks Creative. AP Music Theory is a year-long course of study, and the use of music technology will be used principally throughout.

This course will meet and exceed the curriculum described in the AP Music Theory Course Description and will cover the content found on the AP Music Theory Exam.
