AP Music Theory

Term 1 Exam Prep
Your exam will test all the knowledge and skills we have covered this term. They are broken down into these skill sets:
- Reading
- Writing
- Hearing
- Singing
The questions may include multiple choice, fill in the blank, free response, notation, and analysis questions. Some may require you to sing, dictate, and/or play the keyboard. Be sure to review the work we've done in Chapters 1-3 as well as your vocabulary list, charts in the textbook, quizzes, worksheets, etc.
Here are some links to the exercises on musictheory.net that I've customized for you. This may seem like a lot if you haven't made a habit of practicing these skills daily. If you are able to complete each of them with an 80% proficiency after 20 attempts, you will be in good shape for our exam in October. Remember, if these are too difficult you can customize your own exercises by visiting www.musictheory.net.
