South Carroll High – AP Music Theory

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

AP Music Theory is an advanced level course designed to engage students in learning activities that will help them to achieve the outcomes measured by the College Board’s Advanced Placement Music Theory Examination. The design of the 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. These abilities will be developed through knowledge in aural skills, sight singing skills, written skills, compositional skills, and analytical skills. Students are encouraged to sit for the College Board’s Advanced Placement Music Theory examination.
