Who should take the placement exam:
Students wishing to place into Music Theory II and/or Composition I must take the music department placement exam. Students are asked to take the exam even if they have taken the AP Music Theory exam or completed other theory coursework outside of Middlebury.
Exam components:
The placement test includes multiple choice and short-answer questions, as well as a written portion that the student will email in. Some of the questions involve listening to brief audio clips. The exam is untimed, but students are asked to complete it in a single sitting. (We recommend that students set aside 90 minutes of time, although they may finish the exam sooner.)
Exam window:
Please contact Professor Matthew Quayle, mquayle@middlebury.edu to receive the link to the exam. If you know which course you wish to take (Music Theory II or Composition I), please include this in the email.
Exam results:
Students will receive an email from Professor Quayle.
