英皇音乐考试中,乐理考试是笔试.五级乐理的考试对于报考六级,七级,八级的乐器考试的学生来讲是必须要通过的.六级乐理的内容是建立在五级内容基础上的.更注重作曲技术和分析音乐作品的考查,也更加细节化.要求学生掌握36个大小调的音阶.在音阶的基础上,所形成的每个三和弦,属七和弦以及转位.音乐作品中的转调的原则.装饰音和旋律装饰的不同范围.

考试题的内容包括:

1 Writing specified chords for voices in four parts or for keyboard (at the candidate’s choice) above a given bass part of about four bars

写一首四声部的键盘音乐,一般不会超过16小节.在写作中,学生要用典型节奏或者和声语言证明乐曲的风格.

2 The indication of suitable chords for the accompaniment of a diatonic melody of about eight bars

in any key, using any recognized method of notation, or, at the candidate’s choice, the provision

of a bass to a given melody, adding figures to indicate the intended harmonies.

要求学生可以用和弦标记标出和弦性质,包括36个大小调.

3 Composition of a melody for a specified instrument (a choice will be given), using a given opening.Modulation to the dominant, subdominant, relative major or relative minor may be required
