About Music T heory

Developing musical literacy forms a key part of a rounded education for performers, composers

and listeners of all kinds. An understanding of how written symbols relate to the elements of

music, and having the skills to interpret and translate them into sounds, empowers us to

communicate and experience music in a meaningful way. Music theory is a very practical

subject that is completely entwined with performance and composition.

ABRSM’s Music T heory exams give students:

a knowledge of the notation of western music, including commonly used signs and

terminol ogy

an understanding of fundamental musical elements such as intervals, keys, scales and

chords

an ability to apply theoretical knowledge and understanding to score analysis

skills in harmonic completion of extracts and melody writing (at Grades 6–8)

Candidates are assessed on their ability to identify, use and manipulate musical symbols, to

complete extracts and to answer questions relating to the elements of music according to the

parameters detailed in the full syllabus at /theory.

Grade 5 as a prerequisite

We believe that a thorough understanding of the elements of music is essential for a full and

satisfying performance at the higher grades.

A longstanding ABRSM requirement is that candidates must pass Grade 5 or above in Music

T heory (or in Practical Musicianship or any solo Jazz instrument) before they can enter for

Grades 6, 7 or 8 Practical exams.

Marking scheme

T heory exams are marked out of a total of 100, with 66 marks required for a Pass, 80 for a Merit

and 90 for a Distinction. T he marking criteria for T heory exams are available at /
