J. Anthony Allen walks through ABRSM Music Theory exams, a standardized test with eight grade levels used worldwide. He's created two practice tests each for Grade 1 and Grade 2, with answer keys. Work through Grade 1 first, study gaps, then move to Grade 2.
Hey, everyone. Welcome to the ABRSM Music Theory Practice Exam, Grades one and two. So what is this? So the ABRSM is really the closest thing we have to a standardized test for music theory competency. It's used all over the world. It's not used as a standard method of testing for US colleges and universities, but it is used as a standard elsewhere in the world. And it is used for some places in the US as well. It is common to find as a benchmark for music theory placement. Officially, it's the music theory exam for the Royal Schools of Music, but it is used all over the place. There are eight levels, so in this class, I guess it's not really a class in this set of exams. What I've done is I've gone through all the requirements. I could find all the info, I could find all the practice tests, I could find some previous iterations of the exams. And I've made two exams for level one and two exams for level two. So what I would recommend you do is take the first exam for Level one, maybe study up on the things that you need to study up. It'll give you the answers at the end. And then take the second one, the. The second exam for Level one. And then once you feel confident in that, try level two or Grade two. There are two exams for grade two. Also, I'm hoping to make these exams all the way through grade eight. They're a great way to practice even if you're not planning on taking the ABRSM exam. These are a great way to test yourself for your progress. So they are really useful to you even if you're not planning on taking the actual exam, to just see how you're doing in music theory. So, without further ado, let's jump in. Sam.
