ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory

This engaging ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory course is designed to give students a thorough, confident grasp of the theory required to pass the Grade 5 exam—a key milestone for progressing to higher practical grades.

Taught live online by the outstanding Elizabeth Wordley, an experienced and highly regarded music educator, the course combines clear, structured teaching with plenty of guided practice to ensure students truly understand the material rather than memorising it.

Each week includes:

• One hour of live, interactive Zoom teaching

• Clear explanations of all Grade 5 topics, including harmony, keys, intervals, chords, and musical terminology

• Set independent work to consolidate learning between classes

• Regular exam-style practice to build confidence and accuracy

Elizabeth is known for her calm, encouraging teaching style and her ability to make challenging concepts accessible and logical. Students are supported step-by-step, helping them develop both musical understanding and exam confidence.

Designed for students who have already covered some basics—perhaps during instrument lessons—this course is the perfect preparation for the ABRSM Grade 5 exam, whether taken as a standalone qualification or as a prerequisite for higher practical grades.

It would also be a good step towards the AP Music Theory course.
