Practice in Music Theory Grade 6 (Revised 5th Edition with Answers) Josephine Koh

Practice in Music Theory Grade 6 (5th Edition) is a carefully structured, syllabus-aligned coursebook designed to support teachers in preparing students confidently for the ABRSM Grade 6 Theory examination. Fully revised and presented in full colour with detachable Model Answers, it offers clear progression, consistent terminology, and systematic reinforcement of core concepts required at this level.

Part I – Harmony develops secure theoretical foundations through step-by-step work in four-part and two-part writing, chord progressions, inversions, voice-leading, and non-harmony notes. Concepts are explained with clarity and supported by graduated exercises, enabling teachers to diagnose weaknesses, reinforce correct habits, and guide students towards accurate and stylistically appropriate answers in the examination.

Part II – Melodic Composition and Analysis strengthens higher-order musical thinking through analytical approaches to melody, form, modulation, and style. Using authentic musical examples, students develop skills in melodic writing, score analysis, and stylistic awareness, while teachers are supported with a coherent pedagogical framework that bridges examination requirements and sound musical understanding.
