Theory of Music Made Easy, Grade 6

ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory – Intermediate

Description:

Theory of Music Made Easy, Grade 6 by Loh Phaik Kheung is a comprehensive music theory textbook designed to guide students through the topics required for the ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory examination. Building upon the knowledge developed in the preceding books, this Grade 6 volume consolidates previously learned material while introducing more advanced theoretical subjects in an organized and logical sequence.

At this level, students move beyond fundamental theory and begin working with more sophisticated aspects of musical construction and analysis. Topics include melodic decorations, figured bass, keyboard writing, harmonization, melody writing, orchestral instruments, and melodic composition in a more modern style. These subjects help students understand not only how music is notated, but also how melodies, bass lines, harmony, instrumental writing, and musical structure work together.

The book also includes general exercises and definitions of terminology used to describe melodies and complete pieces of music. Its structured approach makes it particularly useful for students preparing for ABRSM Grade 6 theory, as well as musicians who want to strengthen their understanding of harmony, composition, instrumentation, and higher-level written music theory.

Product Features:

• ABRSM Grade 6 Preparation: Covers the theoretical topics required for students working toward the ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory examination.
• Consolidates Previous Knowledge: Reviews and develops concepts introduced in preceding levels before progressing to more advanced subjects.
• Melodic Decorations: Introduces the understanding and use of ornaments and decorative elements within melodic writing.
• Figured Bass: Develops knowledge of figured-bass notation and its relationship to harmony.
• Keyboard Writing: Introduces principles involved in writing music appropriately for keyboard instruments.
• Harmony and Bass Writing: Includes harmonizing a melody by adding a bass part and supplying the appropriate figuring.
• Melody Writing: Develops skills in constructing and completing effective melodic lines.
• Orchestral Instrument Writing: Introduces theoretical considerations involved in writing for orchestral instruments.
• Modern Melodic Composition: Provides practice in melodic composition using a more modern musical style.
• General Exercises and Terminology: Reinforces theoretical knowledge through exercises and definitions of terms used to describe melodies and complete pieces of music.

Learning Tips:

Grade 6 represents a significant step beyond elementary music theory, so students should make sure that concepts from earlier grades are secure before attempting the more advanced exercises. When studying figured bass and harmonization, focus on understanding the relationship between the melody, bass line, intervals, and resulting harmony rather than relying only on memorized patterns. For melody writing and composition exercises, study the shape, rhythm, phrase structure, and harmonic implications of existing musical examples. When working with orchestral instruments, pay careful attention to instrument characteristics and written notation. Regular written practice, correction of completed exercises, and analysis of real musical scores will help turn theoretical knowledge into practical musical understanding.

Theory of Music Made Easy, Grade 6 輕鬆學樂理 第6級

ABRSM 第6級音樂樂理 – 中級程度

簡介:

Loh Phaik Kheung《Theory of Music Made Easy, Grade 6 輕鬆學樂理 第6級》是一本針對ABRSM 英國皇家音樂學院第6級樂理考試所需內容編寫的完整樂理教材。本冊建立在前面各級所學知識之上，一方面統整並鞏固學生先前已經掌握的內容，一方面以有系統且合乎邏輯的順序，引導學生進入更高階的音樂理論主題。

進入第6級後，學習內容已從基礎樂理逐漸延伸至更深入的音樂結構與分析。本書涵蓋旋律裝飾、數字低音、鍵盤寫作、和聲配置、旋律寫作、管弦樂器寫作，以及較現代風格的旋律創作等重要主題。透過這些內容，學生不只學習如何辨認與書寫音樂，更進一步理解旋律、低音線條、和聲、樂器寫作與音樂結構之間的相互關係。

書中亦包含綜合練習，以及用來描述旋律或完整樂曲的相關音樂術語與定義。完整且循序漸進的內容特別適合準備 ABRSM 第6級樂理的學生，也適合希望進一步加強和聲、作曲、配器及高階書面樂理能力的音樂學習者。

產品特色:

• ABRSM 第6級樂理準備：涵蓋學生準備 ABRSM 第6級音樂樂理考試所需的重要理論主題。
• 統整並延伸先前知識：複習與深化前面級數已學習的概念，再逐步進入更高階的理論內容。
• 旋律裝飾：介紹旋律寫作中各類裝飾與裝飾性元素的理解及運用。
• 數字低音：建立對數字低音記譜方式及其與和聲關係的理解。
• 鍵盤寫作：介紹適合鍵盤樂器的音樂寫作原則與相關概念。
• 和聲與低音寫作：學習為既有旋律加入低音聲部進行和聲配置，並標示相應的數字低音。
• 旋律寫作：培養組織、發展與完成旋律線條的能力。
• 管弦樂器寫作：介紹為管弦樂器進行音樂寫作時所需理解的基本理論概念。
• 現代風格旋律創作：提供較現代音樂風格的旋律創作練習。
• 綜合練習與音樂術語：透過綜合題目鞏固理論能力，並學習用來描述旋律及完整樂曲的相關術語與定義。

學習提示:

第6級是從基礎樂理進入較高階音樂理論的重要階段，因此在開始較複雜的題目之前，應先確認前面級數的重要概念已經熟練。學習數字低音與和聲配置時，不應只依賴公式或記憶固定型態，而應理解旋律、低音線條、音程與最終和聲之間的關係。進行旋律寫作與創作練習時，可以觀察既有音樂範例中的旋律走向、節奏、樂句結構及和聲暗示；學習管弦樂器寫作時，則應特別注意不同樂器的特性與記譜方式。持續進行書寫練習、訂正錯誤，並搭配實際樂譜分析，能幫助學生將書面理論真正轉化為實際的音樂理解能力。
