Congratulations! You have found the No.1 site on the internet for graded music theory. If you are a music buff, student or a teacher you need go no further because whatever we fail to provide here we have links to other excellent sites. The five grades below are separated into four mini-courses, each containing tests, quizzes and print-outs. All you have to do is follow the instructions and click 'next' when you have finished a page.

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 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.
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.
This program is effectively THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE on your computer and will prepare you for most music theory grade examinations in the U.K. and many other countries with similar curriculum 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. It is not meant to replace paper and pen methods but this type of learning does have the advantage of live 'sound' and fast links to the entire program. Because of this we are including Aural (ear) tests throughout the program. Having said this, please do not neglect using pen and paper. Links are given to sites where more specialized information is available and if you are a complete beginner then study the first section The Prep-Level and then follow the links as you progress through the levels. If you are sitting external exams with a UK based exam board then look for the logos for a more specifically targeted syllabus
