Hello! If you are interested in taking a course in music theory or music fundamentals at Amherst College, please take the following exam to help us determine the appropriate course for you.

Although you may want to review your music theory before taking the exam, you should not prepare for it extensively – it is intended to assess your current level. Please do not consult any outside resources (such as a theory textbook, website) while taking the exam.

If possible, please fill this out prior to the first day of the semester.
