Offered every other year — next available during the 2026–2027 school year.
This advanced course is designed for students with a strong interest in music who want to deepen their understanding of how music works. You'll explore music fundamentals, harmony, voice leading, composition, and ear training. A solid background in reading music is recommended.
Please note: Sight singing is a required component of this course. You will be expected to sing out loud, both individually and in front of the class and instructors. This is a key part of developing a strong ear and musical fluency.
We use the official AP Classroom platform to guide instruction and prepare for the AP exam. Expect a mix of written work, listening, analysis, and performance-based assessments.
