Basic Music Theory Quiz

This informal quiz has 18 questions, and is intended to assess how much of basic music theory you understand. The topics in this quiz would be covered in one semester of an easy music theory introductory course, or about one-half semester of such a course proceeding at a fast pace.

If you score above 90%, you may be ready to proceed to studying intermediate-level music theory. If not, you should consider reviewing basic theory before moving on.
