- This video continues another music theory lesson from the Grade 6 workbook from the 'Practice in Music Theory' series. It discusses how melodies can be harmonised, deriving the chords from the melodic notes. Principles of Chord Progression, along with learning to sight sing melodies using solfege would help students to develop an inner ear and to have the ability to use chords effectively. The topics in the workbooks focus on concepts that would ensure success for students taking ABRSM music theory exams and anyone who wishes to understand Advanced Harmony and Figured Bass.

Description of the Grade 6 workbook:
This revised 4th edition of Practice in Music Theory Grade 6 comes complete with detachable Model Answers! The success of its previous editions for the past two decades has prompted the need for more definitive solutions. Based on the ABRSM theory examination syllabus, it is the first of three comprehensive coursebooks leading to Grade 8 and beyond. Students are guided to achieve a high theoretical standard, with competent knowledge in harmony, counterpoint, melodic writing and score analysis. The Josephine Koh’s instructional approach is academic and systematic; yet musically conceived with graphical layouts and selective examples. There are 2 parts to this course book.
Part I - Harmony The principles of harmony are introduced here: 4-part writing, 2-part counterpoint, concepts of traditional chord progression, use of inversions, principles of voice-leading, and the use of non-harmony notes. Harmonic guidelines and rules are clearly explained with relevant examples. Exercises are progressively structured to ensure a strong grasp of the theoretical concepts.
Part II - Melodic Composition and Analysis Meloic composition is taught through an analytical approach. The concepts of phrasing, use of motifs, modulations and melodic contour are illustrated with authentic extracts. By taking students through the works of the great masters, their technical skills are sharpened, enhanced with useful tools for the creative compositional process. Skills in score analysis involve the acquisition of sound musical knowledge - the study of forms, genres, history of western music that spans 4 centuries, along with the composers’ works and styles. Appendices II and III provide guidance for basic research needed at this level.
