Music Theory
Let's face it. Music reading is: what is the pitch - and how long do you want it to go on for!
How about chords that fit? Maybe phrasing and putting cadences into your music?
How can you sight-read without fully understanding what's on the page?
If you're thinking of taking GCSE or A-Level music, you will need knowledge of key signatures, chords, cadences and a general understanding of what is happening in the music. Learn the rules throughly at your own pace, ensuring that you understand. Don't just treat it as just a piece of paper so that you can move into the practical grades 6,7 and 8.
Any recognised music theory syllabus from either ABRSM, Trinity or MTB takes you through everything from the cycle of 5ths, harmony, inversions of chords, scales, intervals and cadences. Helen has worked extensively over the years with students, preparing them for ABRSM theory grade examinations. When the syllabus changed in 2020, she decided to retake her grade 5 theory to see how the new online exams worked, passing on the knowledge to her pupils.
