Grades 1-8 Music Theory Exams
Students can develop many aspects of technique through scale practice, including familiarity with the physicality of their instrument or voice, articulation, tone and intonation.
According to ABRSM, it is essential for candidates in Grades 1 to 8 to have had correct and complete knowledge of rhythm, notes, harmony, counterpoint and composition. They must understand the characteristic details (e.g., structure, forms, styles, period, backgrounds and composers’ works) that belong to each period in western music, too.
Combination of all those elements will equip learners with the understanding of the differences in all aspects of music-knowing how to transform such knowledge into playing any piece of music; and enjoying their own musical journey in a correct direction.
