J. Anthony Allen walks through ABRSM Grade 5 and 6 music theory exams, which last 120 minutes and jump in difficulty with transposition, tenor clef, and augmented/diminished intervals. Part six includes a composition assignment that multiple-choice can't cover. Four practice exams are available: two for part 5, two for part 6.
Hey, everyone. Here we are on the ABRSM exam 5 and 6. So here's where they get a little tricky. I'm not gonna lie. This, this especially part six, there's some tricky stuff in here. We start getting into transposition. We start getting into tenor clef. We start getting into really dense, into augmented and diminished intervals. So there's some tough stuff in here. If you can pass this one, then you're. You're in really good shape. So I encourage you to take this exam. Hopefully you've taken the previous ones already. You've worked your way through and you're feeling confident, and you can take this one. The times on this one are a little longer. It's 120 minutes. I don't really think it requires 120 minutes. Especially because there's one big caveat for part six, and that is that part six has a composition assignment, and we can't do that as multiple choice. So I've made kind of a big footnote about that. And you'll notice that in part six, it's a little bit shorter because I wanted the numbers to line up without that composition project. So basically, we don't have the composition project in here. But I do have a little explanation of what the composition project is like in the exam description and how to prepare for it. So check that out. But aside from that multiple choice. 4. 4 exams. 2 for part 5, 2 for part 6. Devote some good amount of time to it. I think that's all I have to say about it. Good luck. Dive in. Let me know how you do. Sam. Sa.
