  • Day and time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (8 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 6
  • Start date: 13 October 2021
  • Description:

    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 revise work done at the existing ABRSM Grade 6 curriculum and published materials, and then continue on towards Grades 7 and 8. Members will be asked to purchase an appropriate workbook (around £7) - details later. There will be weekly assignments and optional individual Zoom tutorials.
