Ear Tests

In this section, there are two ear tests: ■■Melodic Recall ■■Harmonic Recall

You will find one example of each type of test printed below and you will need to perform both of them in the exam.

Test 1: Melodic Recall The examiner will play you a 2 bar diatonic melody in the key of C major with a range up to an octave. The first note will be the root note or a fifth. You will hear the test twice, each time with a one bar count-in, then you will hear a further one bar count-in after which you will need to play the melody to the click. The tempo is q = 95 bpm.

It is acceptable to play over the track as it is being played as well as practising after the second playthough. The length of time available after the second playthrough is pre-recorded on the audio track so the count-in may begin while you are still practising.

Test 2: Harmonic Recall The examiner will play you a chord progression containing chords I, II, IV, V, VI in any order or combination in the key of C major. You will hear the chord progression twice, each time with a one bar count-in. You will then hear a further one bar count in before playing back to a click. At this grade, seventh chords are introduced. Please note, there is no requirement for the chords to be voicing-specific. The tempo is q = 95 bpm.
