Course Description:

Music theory can be one of the most difficult AP tests. Passing this exam requires not only a solid knowledge of melodies, harmonies and rhythms, but also the ability to demonstrate this knowledge in ways that music performers are seldom–if ever–asked to do.

We will help our budding young musician hone their skills, transforming their already existing knowledge into something they will be able to both write and sing.

A student entering AP Music Theory and this summer course should already have at least 3 years of music performance experience and know how to read notes from one clef.

Make the Most of the Summer!

Students who stay actively engaged in the learning process during the summer perform better during the school year.
