AP Music Theory
AP Music Theory is designed for students who wish to participate in advanced coursework pertaining to music theory with an emphasis on music of the Common Practice period (1600-1900). The material and information presented in class is equal to a first year music theory course at the university level. Students will explore elements of melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, composition, musical analysis, and form, as well as develop their aural skills through listening and performance.

They are: Music in Theory and Practice. 9th ed, Vol. 1. and the Workbook to accompany Music in Theory and Practice (These books can be purchased on Amazon.com.)
