This course is for members who have worked at Music Theory up to Grade 5 level and wish to progress further. A previous pass at Grade 5 is not obligatory. Theory Grades 1 to 5 covered the Rudiments of Music Notation. After that comes the much more exciting and creative study of real Music Theory, which embraces harmony, counterpoint, analysis, music history, composing, orchestration, acoustics. This course will initially use the existing ABRSM Grade 6 curriculum and published materials. If there is continuing interest we will move on towards Grades 7 and 8 at a later stage. Members will be asked to purchase an appropriate workbook (around £5) - details later. They should also consider installing the free music writing program MuseScore.
