Syllabus for Grade 2 — As in Grade 1, with the addition oft (J) Simple time signatures of 3 3 4 8, and the grouping of notes and rests within these times. Triplets and triplet note groups with rests. Questions will include the composition of simple four-bar rhythms starting on the first beat of the bar and using a given opening. (2) Extension of the stave to include two ledger lines below and above each stave. (3) Construction of the minor scale (harmonic or melodic at candidate's choice, but candidates will be expected to know which form they are using). Scales and key signatures of the major keys of A, Bb and Eb, and the minor keys of A, E and D, with their tonic triads (root position), degrees (number only), and intervals above the tonic (by number only). (4) More terms and signs in common use. a First published in 1990 by ‘The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (Publishing) Ltd Reprinted in 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 © 1990 The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music ISBN 1 85472 4916 All rights reserved.

Under each of the following notes, write its name. The letter name alone is sufficient, if there is no accidental (e.g. ‘F’ means ‘F natural’); but if there is an accidental, it must be included (e.g. ‘F sharp’ or ‘F??). ‘When you draw ledger lines, make sure that they do not slope up or down. They should be the same distance apart as the stave lines.

Grade 2 adds some time signatures in which the beat can be a minim or a quaver. ‘Music with two beats in a bar is always said to be in ‘duple’ time, no matter whether the beats are minims, crotchets or quavers. Similarly, music with three beats in a bar is always in ‘triple’ time, and music with four beats in a bar is always in ‘quadruple’ time.

But a minor key has two: the ‘harmonic’ minor scale and the ‘melodic’ minor scale. Also, the descending form of the melodic minor scale is different from its ascending form.

But you will need to know the name of the form you are using - either harmonic or melodic. Using the given rhythm, write either the harmonic or the melodic minor scale in each of the keys named below. In the brackets write the name of the form (harmonic or melodic) which you have used.

Note also that the terms ‘harmonic’ and ‘melodic’ refer only to scales, not ro keys. A piece may be ‘in the key of D minor’, for example, or just in ‘D minor’; but it would be wrong to say that it is ‘in the key of D harmonic minor’ or ‘in the key of D melodic minor’. ‘Name the minor keys shown by the following key signatures.

Largo Corelli, Violin Sonata, Op.5 No (Preludio) (8)F Grouping of notes and rests (see The AB Guide to Music Theory, 5/1-3) The elementary uses of beams, ties and dots were introduced in Grade 1 (see Music Theory in Practice, Grade 1, Section P). Now some more information is needed to cover the new time signatures - 3, 3, 4, g - and also some other problems which may arise in Grade 2. ‘The main points to remember about the grouping of notes are as follows. (1) In time signatures with a minim beat (3, 3, 4): (a) Always use a semibreve (not two tied minims) where possible - |e ee ee ee ee ee (©) Beam together a group of 4 quavers, which could be replaced by a minim - aJTJIITTI4 3 | Similarly, beam together 4 semiquavers, which could be replaced by a crotchet ~ Beiiiode st Do not beam together more than 4 quavers. (2) In 8, beam together quavers and/or semiquavers making a complete bar ~ QIT4d 1) a a 8 dT | 8 | @) Except for 8 JTF a a J, do not beam together more than 4 semiquavers In the above examples of beams, the notes were printed simply as rhythms ‘When the notes are written on a stave, however, a new problem can arise. Consider, for example: Here the stems of the first two notes go down, but the stem of the last note goes up. But when notes are beamed together, ail the stems in the group go either up or down usually according to what suits most of them. Thus, these three notes would be beamed: = Similarly, S=$= would normally become SS rather than te = the first note ‘wins’ because it is further from the middle line of the stave.‘These are the main points to remember about the arrangement of rests: (1) If you need to show a complete bar's rest, it should be writen | ~ |, fia ea eed ee ere ek aac a aSererae aig aaeael| (A bar’s rest in 4 is written differently, but this will not be used until Grade 4.) (2) In quadruple time, a two-beat rest should be used if the first half of the bar is silent, The same applies to the second half ~ eee (3) Everywhere else, a new beat always needs a new rest ~ ete dead teeuedi|| ad adres | 8 Sys | | Bhre ial 8dr, 7 | De ee ar add | 8,750 | Peete | 897, | ee ete (4) Where rests of less than a beat are used, group the notes and rests in half-beats (shown below by —— ). 49078) | wor Fr OL | ade) | wor fds od | Bdr: J | wor Fd: 1d | ul (These are also not striy comect- % by J | 3 dy J | ~although they are occasionally found in printed music.) ©) Do not use more rests than are needed by the rules above. For example, write ~ | NoT ¥;77 0] Qe ot ordi wor dsrrs 7 DI (6) Groups of notes which can be beamed together can still be beamed together when a rest is used instead of a note.

It is a ‘melodic’ interval if the two notes are played one after the other, or a ‘harmonic’ interval if they are played together. The size of an interval is measured by the number of degrees of the scale it includes, for example: SS = ee 2nd 3rd ath 5th The number of degrees is the ‘number’ of the interval. It is not affected by the key signature, or by any sharps, flats or naturals which the notes may have before them. In Grade 2 we will use only those intervals which have the key-note as the lower note. ‘Therefore, the number of the interval will always be the same as the degree of the scale on which the top note is placed. For example, here are the intervals from the key-note in G major: Cand = 3rd 4th = Sth_)=— Gth_=—7th_~—_ Be (octave) And similarly in A minor ~ é : . 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th — Bve (octave) (In A minor, of course, both the F and the G might be sharpened, depending on which form of the scale is being used; but this would not affect the number of the interval.) Exercise 20 Give the number of each of the following intervals. The lower note is the key-note.Exercise 21 (@) © © @) 23 Intervals are always counted from the lower note - even if, in a melodic interval, the upper note comes first. Thus both of these are intervals of a 6th: Give the number of each of the intervals marked -— in the following.

You will be given only the first bar, or possibly even less. The given opening will start on the first beat of the bar, and you will be asked to continue it to make a four-bar rhythm. ‘The rhythm you write must have some feeling of design: it is not enough to fill up four bars with an assortment of notes which do nothing more than fit in with the time signature. This, 3 for example, is musically shapeless-4. J 1 |J DJ (ST) SIT.

Notice the following features in the melodies quoted opposite (the letters refer to the examples, but now only their rhythms are shown). (1) The rhythms all end on a bear, with a note which lasts at least a full beat (or perhaps o)y instead of J). This helps to make the four bars feel like a single unit, similar to a line of verse. (2) Sometimes the rhythm of bars 1 and 2 is repeated exactly in bars 3 and 4: ——— — = wid STN J 1s TT Js w 4 JIT SS TTS! | Thus the four bars are divided into two two-bar sections.
