Easter Music Theory Course
Wantage Silver Band, Tugwell Field, Reading Road, Wantage, OX12 7GJ
A three day course to prepare for ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory. Exam is booked and paid for separately.
Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th and Thursday 17th April 2025
9:00am-3:30pm each day.
This is the ideal, intensive course for learners of all instruments that are working to around Grade 3+ standard.
We are accepting enrolments from children who are in Year 6 or older and adults that are members of WSB or known to the band.
Grade 5 Music Theory is perfect for learners wanting to enhance their theoretical knowledge to help with both their performance and ensemble skills. If already working towards ABRSM Practical or Performance Grades, this is the prerequisite to move onto Grade 6-8.
Participants must be equipped with packed lunch, snacks (nut free) and drinks each day. Please also bring pencils, ruler, rubber and sharpener.
Prior to the course, participants are advised to work through the ABRSM Discovering Music Theory workbooks and may want to have tried out the ABRSM Aural Trainer app.
After the course, participants need to commit to working through six past papers (a mixture of paper and digital) which course leaders will mark. Full support, through online 'check ins' will be given, as needed, between the course and exam. The exam entry and fee will need to be organised separately. WSB is an ABRSM Public Exam Centre and as such, support with this is available.
