ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory Question 3(a), Composing a Traditional Melody - Ex 10 with Sharon Bill



In this music theory lesson I discuss all you need to know to successfully answer ABRSM Grade 6 Question 3(a) Exercise 10 - Composing a Traditional style melody. I discuss various ways in which a short melody can be composed continuing in a given style, and how to modulate in a single melody line. I also show how a single melody line still implies full harmony, and I suggest considerations for the instrument that the composition is to be performed on. I explain all that needs to be understood to fully answer this question. The full lesson is available on my Patreon channel. Sample examples from this lesson are included in this short video.

Cost of Living Crisis (Making Music Accessible) - Sharon Bill Music Matters Vlog



I’m serious about taking my part - here and now - in making music accessible to all! I don’t profess to be the best and I don’t profess to know it all, but what knowledge I have I want to share. I’m so grateful to those who helped me (and continue to do so), and I want to pass on the baton. Life has enough worries, lets try and share this journey together!
