Knowledge of the piano (the person in question is taking piano) and theory is not a bad thing to have, assuming you will be a voice major, I am simply questioning taking the AP test as being valuable, that's all. If you go to a stand alone music program, it is unlikely the AP test will mean anything (knowing music theory could help you place into a higher level of music theory when you enter, that might shorten the number of theory courses you have to take in school). If you plan on going to a program within a university you potentially could use the AP test to get out of an arts requirement, but given that you are planning to study voice your coursework in music theory or music history would probably fulfill that anyway, so why go to the bother of taking the AP test if it doesn't get you anything?
