AP Music Theory - Self Studying

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Is it doable? I’ve read around many new and old threads in this section gathering information about the course. And it seems like a very challenging yet rewarding course. But in the end, is this a course that is manageable to self-study and score a 4/5 on the APs?</p>

<p>I’ve been a clarinet player for seven years, so I’d say I have a decent knowledge of music. I also learned a little bit of piano from my mom, so I know how to read both treble and bass clefts. And I know all the basic major and minor chords.</p>

<p>However, my ears are absolutely terrible. I’ll probably devote more time during the summer working on this. Anyways, the question comes down to this: With basic background knowledge, Can I self-study AP Music Theory and pull of a decent grade?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
