THEORY OF MUSIC EXAMINATION

While everyone understands and enjoys the practical aspect of music, the theoretical aspect of music is often standing in court being asked to justify its importance. Well, let us look at it in a more relatable manner. When we learn to speak a language – any language – we cannot learn it without understanding grammar. Yes, when we speak or read we may not be thinking about each word as a noun or a verb, but the fact that we learnt those aspects of the language help us understand why we are speaking a certain way. It helped us understand that the sentence ‘I are learning to read music‘ is incorrect and why it is incorrect. It also helped us correct the way we speak.

Music is also just a language, that has certain rules. If you know these rules understanding music and reading music will become much much more simple that it is now.

Here you can get information on how various boards conduct their theory of music examinations. The topics that they test on, the structure of the papers and much more! Stay tuned and keep reading.
