This course is for members who have worked at Music Theory to Grade 5 level and wish to progress further. A previous pass at Grade 5 is not obligatory. Theory Grades 1 to 5 will have covered the Rudiments of Music Notation. After that comes the more exciting and creative study of real Music Theory, which embraces harmony, counterpoint, analysis, music history, composing, orchestration, acoustics. The course will initially use the existing ABRSM Grade 6 curriculum and published materials, but there is no obligation to sit the exam. With continuing interest we can move on towards Grades 7 and 8 level at a later stage. Members will eventually need to buy a booklet of past papers (around £5) - details later. They should also agree to install the free music-writing program MuseScore 3, which is essential to the course. There will be a weekly homework assignment and optional tutorials via Zoom.
