Music Theory Placement Exam
In order to place students in an appropriate theory course at the beginning of their studies at UAA, each music student will need to take a theory placement exam prior to enrolling in MUS 131 (Theory I).
There are several valuable resources available for students who would like to review their fundamental skills (identifying and writing key signatures, scales, intervals and chords):
- Music Theory Exercises (1)
- Music Theory Exercises (2)
- Online Theory Fundamentals Course
- Ear Training Course
Students wishing to know more about the Theory Program at UAA, may contact Dr. John Lutterman to set up and individual appointment.
