The Grade 5 Music Theory Course is a course taught over approximately two terms (depending on exam dates) leading to The Associated Board of the Royal Schools Of Music (ABRSM) Grade 5 Theory Exam. It is suitable for all players who wish to improve their knowledge of music theory in general or to take a Grade 6 instrumental exam.
The class based element of the course consists of a one hour class each week during the first term with opportunities for teacher contact during the second term for revision and advice on exam technique.
In the first term the course will cover all elements of the syllabus including notation, scales and intervals, harmony, rhythm, ornaments and performance direction. Course materials will be provided and students will be expected to complete work set each week on the relevant topic.
The second term will concentrate on revision and exam preparation by using past papers which will be marked and returned on a weekly basis with relevant comments on a correspondence basis and class revision sessions.
