Music Theory

In my theory class (which may be different to yours), you just sit and write in the ABRSM music theory books. We cover subjects such as key signatures, intervals, chords, cadences, transcription, short score and open score etc. for grade 5 theory. As it is music THEORY, as in, not the practical thing, you should not need to play instruments or sing in the lesson, but knowing about bacic notes and the layout of a keyboard is helpful

Bass or Baritone.

You can get past papers from your music shop normally, and their answers.

Yes.

Prime unison denotes simultaneous two overlapping sounds of the same pitch.

When a song changes keys that is called modulation. A composer often will use this to heighten the effect for the final verse or chorus of a piece. It adds a little bit of drama for the performers and the listeners.

Not really, because they are noted like that so that you can tell what note you are on without looking at your hands or looking at whatever you're playing, say you're playing a piano, an experienced pianist would be able to immediately tell what note he's on by the amount of black keys. If there's a black key to the left and right, and no other black keys, then you're on a D. If there's 2 black keys to the left and 1 to the right, then you're on an A. This was you can keep looking at your sheet music and keep playing at the same time with ease.

6/8 music is an indication of the time signature. Most music is in a 4/4 format - there are 4 beats per measure and a quarter note gets 1 beat. In 6/8 however, there are 6 beats per measure, and an 8th note gets one beat. An 8th note has the note w/ stick and one flag. Hope that helps!

3/2 is a variety of simple triple time with three minim beats to the bar. In the sixteenth century, such that the symbol occasionally used for the time signature 4/4 would be a modified C, or common time, the time signature for 3/2 time would be represented with a full circle.

The correct scale for concert pitch C on a tenor horn is a C major.

A substance has a specific chemical composition while mixtures contain more than one substance.

Probably not. That's not any kind of standard progression, and it doesn't go anywhere harmonically.

Yes, the octaves are the same notes but in varying pitches.

pizzicato, when string players pluck their strings instead of bowing

The C chord contains the notes C, E, and G. The C Minor chord contains the notes C, E Flat, and G.

Common time is usually written as a C at the beginning of the stave where the time signature would go and is the equivalent of writing 4,4.

They are used for creating different moods in music (for example Phrygian and Locrian sound dark while Ionian is very pretty).

Haydn worked for the Esterhazy family and was in charge of all the musicians at the estate and wrote music specifically for this family and its functions.

It is a way of memorizing key signatures. If you start with C, there are no sharps or flats in the key signature. Go up a 5th to G, and you add 1 sharp. Go up a 5th to D and you have 2 sharps. Go up a 5th to A and you have 3 sharps, and so on. (This example is for major keys).

It is chanted poetry. This was ethnic music from the Northern and Central Philippines.

Articulation in music has to do with the style in which a sound is produced. The two big opposites are legato - smoothly and connected and staccato - short and detached or separated. There are many shades of difference between the two and combinations of all of them that are combined to keep music interesting to play and to listen to.
