Is AP Music Theory a difficult class?

Is AP Music Theory a difficult class? Do the teachers usually give tons of homework? I am a junior in high school and I'm taking piano now. Next semester I will be taking Music Theory and I am planning to take AP music theory next year as a senior.

Every school and every teacher is going to be different. But most people who take AP Music Theory are taking it because they want to. So, any homework will be fun. I took a music theory class in college and it was really cool. Especially given that I was in engineering school studying electrical engineering. What would you rather do: math homework or music homework?

Bottom line: who cares if there's a lot of homework???

Is it difficult? Yes, it can be. It's an AP class. But it will be fun, if the teacher is any good.
