<p>Hello, so I just recently entered my junior year of high school and one of the classes I am taking is AP Music Theory. I thought it would not be too hard because I took a previous theory course, however now I am starting to think how ill prepared I am for this course and how I need to study more and really work with music before I can truly understand AP music theory. My first two years of high school I was dead set on becoming a music major, my main instrument is voice. However, I have sadly realized that I'm not quite good enough to compete through voice or any of the other instruments I play (mallets + cello). I still want to study music, but I've realized that I think one of my true passions is writing. So now I'm stuck in AP theory freaking out and I don't know whether to drop it, study up this year and take AP Theory senior year or to go through with it. The only thing I'm worried about is if I decide that I do want to try to major in music/minor in music, will it look bad if I take AP theory senior year? Will the college still see that I am taking that class? Right now I am leaning towards a major in english/creative writing and a minor in music, how does that sound? Thank you for your answers!</p>
<p>yes i am agree with your statement that music change everything like soul etc</p>
<p>Go talk to your AP Music Theory teacher about your difficulties with the class so far. That person can advise you on how best to approach the material, and should have useful information about the relative merits of taking the class this year or next.</p>
<p>You also should re-post this question in the Music Majors sub-forum. Change the title to something like “AP Music Theory as a Junior or Senior?” so that you catch the eyes of the experts there.
