*** UPDATED for the 2018 ABRSM Syllabus Changes ***

Pass your Grade 1 ABRSM Music Theory Exam with Confidence!

This grade 1 music theory course covers the topics set out on the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) syllabus. This is an entry level exam/course and is ideal if you:

• have recently begun learning to read printed music
• are keen to discover more about how music "works"

Knowing music theory is the key to understanding written music so that you can perform it well, and also helps you to composer your own music and gain a deeper appreciation of the music you love to listen to.

The ABRSM has a set of eight graded exams which allow you to learn in a guided, logical way, and you can gain internationally recognised qualifications along the way! Grade 1 is a beginner's level course - the highest level is grade 8, which is roughly equivalent to first year undergraduate level at university.

There are no age/geographical restrictions to taking the ABRSM music theory exams.
