Your school gives class credit for AP tests?

Music theory isn’t hard, but you have to have perfect pitch, if not really good relative pitch. You also have to identify notes and rhythms and write them down.

I’m also taking the music theory ap test, and I’m trying to learn melodic progression and composition. It’s pretty hard to understand, and I’ve been playing piano for 11 years and french horn for 6.

Moral of story: if you’re good at identifying intervals, you’re fine.
