Actually…we toured 28 colleges and every single one said level completed. So if they wanted “4” then Spanish 4 or French 4 would satisfy the four year FL requirement even if some of it was taken in middle school.
Please tell us which colleges say that all four years of FL need to be taken in the high school years.
RE the OPs question. I agree with others. The Student should take what interests them. But agree that the level 4 language should be completed in junior year. Then take music theory senior year. Is there a reason not to do this.
Also, the AP Music Theory exam is a doozie.
