If you are taking the ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory exam, this unique course will help you get top marks. Many people find that working under exam conditions, without access to a piano or similar, makes music composition a difficult task. Others may have a natural talent for crafting a good tune, but are perhaps unsure of the specific requirements set out by the ABRSM examining board - just what are you supposed to write? And what makes a composition good or bad - is it completely subjective? (No!) In this course, I will set out the marking criteria for you in a clear and structured way, so you know exactly what it is you are supposed to be writing. You'll then learn how to complete your composition according to the expectations of the examiners, and you'll discover that with just a knowledge of scales, chords and intervals a beautiful composition can be invented even if you can't hear it in your head . You'll learn specifically how to work with rhythmic and melodic ideas and to adapt them, how to create a plausible and confident harmonic structure, and how to create an effective modulation to any related key: to the dominant, subdominant or relative major/minor. The course includes detailed explanations, (without overloading you with superfluous information), real-time worked compositions in a major and minor key, worked out before your eyes, and lots of freebie downloads including lesson summaries, exercises and compositions to work through yourself. I'll also offer feedback on your personal exam-question compositions, if you post them in the discussion section. After teaching music theory for many years, I've seen hundreds (if not thousands!) of grade 6 compositions, and know exactly what kind of mistakes candidates make. I'd love to help you this time around, and work with you to getting top marks in your exam.

When tutoring music theory at the university-level, I would often see students who struggled in the classroom setting. Much of the time this is because everyone thinks and learns in a different way. What makes sense to some students, might have to be explained another way to others. I have designed this course to address this problem by explaining concepts through several different mediums and in various ways. This course is a standard, university-level music theory class. The material covered at universities in beginner music theory classes is the same material covered here, but here it does not cost nearly as much. Another benefit of this format is one can go through it at their own pace and are not rushed to complete everything throughout one semester. Once purchased, the student will have access to this class for life. So, students will be able to regularly review any concepts they might struggle with. This class is comprised of: Written lectures that operate as chapters for a simplified textbook Video lectures that cover the written material in depth Quick definitions guides for each lecture Exercises to test one’s understanding and answer guides to check each exercise Quizzes for each section Examples of topics covered in this course include: Reading pitch Reading rhythm Reading most other symbols in music notation Tempo Time signatures Tuplets Key signatures Keyboard pitch labeling Dynamic indicators Tone-color Solfège Scale degree numbers Intervals Quality Major and minor scales Modes and pentatonic scales Triads Seventh chords Figured bass Lead-sheet notation Chord progression construction And many more subjects pertaining to the aforementioned material This course is the first in a series that will cover the entirety of undergraduate level music theory classes. Students enrolled in this class will receive discounts on future courses of mine.
