Some more resources you might find useful ...

Just as a guide, Grade 5 theory is a mandatory pre-requisite for any
practical exams beyond grade 5, and Grade 8 qualifies you to teach that
instrument.

I took grade 5 because I had two grade 5 practicals and wanted to go
higher (my teacher left and I never did), but being me, I thought "if
I've got to do grade 5, I'll do grade 6", and I did very well ...)

(Remember to add 50% to convert £ to $, but at £10 for a workbook,
that's not bad value ... and I think the £4 past exam papers are
probably three per book)

Cheers,
Wol

Thanks to all who replied.  I have several people who have volunteered to
answer my questions.  I'll probably pass them around to different people
so nobody gets too much work.

Thanks for being part of a great community!

Hi Carl,

I'd be happy to take a look on your assignments off-list. I don't know
exactly which book you are using (that link lists a couple of pdf files) nor
what specifically are you learning, but I think I might be able to give you
a hand (I am finishing my masters in composition right now).


Take care,
Gilberto

Some help with music theory

2016-05-05 Thread Carl Sorensen
Hi all,

I'm a longtime music novice and lilypond developer (I developed the
FretBoards facility, did much of the figured bass and harp pedals, worked
on beaming, and contributed some documentation).

I have decided I need to learn more music theory, so I found some
information on line[1] and am working through a music theory book.

As I work on this, I'm finding some things that are not well-explained in
the book, but are in the assignments.  I have done some web searching to
find the answers.  I think I'm doing things right, but each site seems to
notate things slightly differently.

Is there anybody who'd be willing (off-list) to review my answers to some
of the assignments and see if they're correct?  Of course, I won't fill
the user list with these assignments, as they are not directly related to
LilyPond.

If you're willing, please let me know.

Thanks,

Carl
