The study of music theory could provide a suitably interested student a
lifetime of learning and fascination. This is not really what the
One-2-Five
music theory E-tutor is about. This unique downloadable e-tutor and online
manual is for the student who would rather be a musician than
a music theorist and that the particularly tedious route to
GRADE 5 THEORY is one of the less attractive hurdles to climb, because
most musicians prefer to PLAY their instrument rather than write dots on a
stave. Have said that, many musicians come to regret their lack of
theoretical knowledge and music theory writing skills when called upon to arrange or
compose, especially when finding themselves in a group or ensemble
environment.
This is not to say that if you love music theory you will hate our tutor, in
fact we are certain you will probably enjoy learning this way, but many
people who thought they disliked music theory have come to love it through
using this modern approach.
Grade 5 theory
This is the magic target for performance musicians wishing to go above grade
5 level in their performance exams because most exam boards make this a
qualifying requirement for grades 6, 7 and 8 (practical exams). Grade 5 theory covers most of the rudiments of
music, including most of the symbols and terms in common use (English,
French, Italian and German) basic harmony, intervals, chords,
cadences and
music form. So if you achieve this level then you are well equipped to go on
and perform music knowing you have good basic level of theoretical support.
Music lessons
The best way to learn music is by one-to-one music lessons with a good
teacher and no computer courses or methods will ever replace this centuries
old tradition which works for the vast majority of people. Private music
teachers are probably our best customers because they know how modern
children love to use their computers for homework and they can use the
One-2-Five tutor in many ways to assign interesting challenges to their
pupils without straying from their particular grade, and they love the
quizzes, flashcards and aural challenges. If you are learning without the
aid of formal music lessons or school, then the One-2-Five E-tutor will
become a valuable acquisition.
One-2-Five music theory E-tutor
The
One-2-Five will help prepare you for all theory grade examinations in the
U.K. (and many other countries) up to Grade 5. It is designed to cover the
minimum of requirements and to be reasonably comprehensible to children and
adults who have at least started learning a musical instrument. After
downloading the E-Tutor you can evaluate the program and then decide if you
wish to purchase a license. There is much more to the program than theory
grades 1-5 but if you are taking external examinations with one of the UK
examination boards we recommend use of our online manual (registration free
with the e-tutor) as a supplementary aid (alongside the board's music theory
workbook) for those of you who enjoy using computer style learning. However,
there is no substitute for the use of pen and paper for preparation for an
exam that exclusively requires this medium and this endeavour is not
attempting to replace this. but we strongly believe that the downloadable
E-tutor will bring a new and refreshing addition to the often tedious
business of preparing for and taking music theory exams, and of course, this
type of learning does have the advantage of live 'sound' and fast links to
the entire program. Because of this we have included aural (ear) tests
throughout the program.
Links are given to sites where more specialized information is available. If
you are a complete beginner there is a Preparatory level prior to Grade 1.
One-2-Five Theory is rapidly becoming a
favourite resource for many music teachers using all the popular external
examination boards.
