Welcome to my ABRSM Grade 6 Music Theory Lessons. In this lesson I explain the basic principles which need to be understood in order to successfully complete Question 3(a) of the Grade 6 workbook and exam paper. In this lesson I discuss how to structure a melody, how a melody line implies underlying harmony, and which harmonies to refer to. I also explain basic modulation and compositional techniques appropriate for this question.
