The achievement of this goal may be best promoted by integrated approaches to the student’s development of: aural skills, sight singing skills, compositional skills, and analytical skills through listening exercises, performance exercises, written exercises, creative exercises and analytical exercises. As with all Advanced Placement courses the grade is weighted and students are expected to take the Advanced Placement Exam.
