This video was recommended by my teacher--so useful!!! Save my life on the exam!

[@MusicMattersGB]

Excellent.

[@jillmcaleese6514]

You are a very gifted teacher. You got me through grade 5! Thanks so much for your videos.

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Jill McAleese Congratulations! Thanks for your kind words. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for more. Individual Skype lessons available too. Anyway, good luck for the next step.

[@tonybayliss8530]

This is a very good piece of help. I thought my ear was ok, and that I would find this topic easy. It just shows how wrong you can be and how rusty you can get. Thanks for this Gareth, I think I shall now watch it again. I have started to work on my grade 6 theory by the way and hope to back to you in due course. Thanks for this video which was very much appreciated..

[@MusicMattersGB]

Hi Tony. I'm glad it's helpful and it's good to hear from you again. Good luck with the ongoing studies and if there's anything I can help with just shout. All the best.

[@shulamithbarbe1967]

super helpful, clearly explained. Especially to "hold on to the tonic" has made a complete difference for me, in the good sense!

[@MusicMattersGB]

That’s great. You can find the other tests at www.mmcourses.co.uk

[@blueberrymuffinscottage]

The way I was taught, V-I chords are called "authentic" and can either be perfect authentic, in which soprano resolves to tonic, or imperfect authentic, in which soprano lands on a note other than tonic, and cadences that end in the V are called half cadences... Is this just an American thing, or-?

[@MusicMattersGB]

It’s essentially a US/ British tradition issue but you’re right to raise the fact that cadences are labelled differently according to one’s particular musical upbringing. Your comment encourages me to make a video on the fuller terminology surrounding all the cadences. Thank you. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Perseverence pays off. Merci for this. I think the key to my musical progress was learning the Rule of the Octave, and then instead of practicing chord inversions (which I'd been doing mindlessly for months) to practice cadences from a thoroughbass level. It really is helping to train my fingers, and slowly my ear.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Excellent

[@kimberlypizon4454]

[@xstitchcaro]

thank you for for doing these - gone back to lessons as an adult and my music theory is decidedly shaky - grade 6 singing this term and grade 7 piano next so having serious practice sessions on aurals.

+Rasika Gopalakrishnan Well done! Glad the films are helpful. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for more

[@brionreid7316]

My conscious brain is always trying to "figure this out" while my unconscious brain (intuition) always recognizes "home" or not. Playing versions of the home chord really threw my conscious brain as they are recognized as different while my intuition was saying they feel the same. I'm enjoying the "this is different" yet "this is home" dissonance you've triggered! : ) [SUBSCRIBED]

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Brion Reid One just has to live with this stuff until it all slots together. Keep up the good work.

[@charlotteburnett3216]

Thank you !! Super worried about my Grade 6 aurals as they are so much harder than Grade 5. This was really helpful!

[@frderek]

Watching this video, a thought occurred to me: if the tonic is in a MINOR key then the dominant will be a MAJOR chord. So listen to the tonality of the final chord - if it's minor it must be perfect, if major it must be imperfect (of the two choices we're given). An extra clue for nothing :)

[@MusicMattersGB]

😀

[@dylankelly1715]

Interesting... in the United States we call your "perfect" cadence an "authentic" cadence, and your "imperfect" cadence a "half" cadence. The words "perfect" and "imperfect" in the United States have to do with melody within an authentic cadence (V to I in root position): going V to I and ending the melody on scale degree 1 (in root position) is our US "perfect authentic cadence". Going V to I and ending the melody on scale degree 3 or 5 (in root position) is our US "imperfect authentic cadence". Fascinating difference in terminology!

[@MusicMattersGB]

That’s very helpful. We quite often bump into discussion about UK/ US terminology!

[@catherinebrowne1171]

Thank you, the video was very helpful and informative

[@MusicMattersGB]

That’s great. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk

[@isaacshaw1596]

Surely this is easier in Minor keys. Major I can understand why people may not get it both major chords in a major keys are V and I. But in a minor key chord I is minor but chord V is major so that would be making things easier.

[@MusicMattersGB]

I agree

[@christophergonzalez319]

Nice video and crucial info. Thanks from chris G

tbh I think i needed to learn more theory before doing grade 6 aural. maybe from grade 3 which i attempted in yr 5 if i recall correctly. i've had at least 3 yrs cmon me. thanks for the video though. maybe with some more research i can get the hang of all this.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Have a look at www.mmcourses.co.uk for our graded theory courses.

[@jiwenwang7000]

I done my grade six clarinet but I have not got the results back yet. Fingers crossed!🤞

[@MusicMattersGB]

Great. I hope the exam goes well. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for more.

[@tomm6839]

Thank you for a great lesson. Any chance you could help me identify the pieces you used? (The 2 minor ones in the middle of the lessons)

[@MusicMattersGB]

Thanks. I just make up the pieces as I go. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for much more.

[@tomm6839]

They sound great. You should develop them to full pieces. :-)

[@MusicMattersGB]

Thanks. That’s a thought.

[@jaimelam]

This was super helpful! I have my exam tomorrow and I am super worried about the aural part :\

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Jaime L Good luck. Hope it goes well! See www.mmcourses.co.uk for further help.

[@jaimelam]

Just a quick question, if the piece I'm playing is on four pages...am I allowed to photocopy the first two pages to stick next to the last two pages so that I won't need to flip through the book? I know there's the no illegal photocopies rule...but so far my piano teacher says that it's okay but I am a bit worried....

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Jaime L As long as you have an original copy with you you will be fine with that. Will it all fit on one stand? If not, take a second stand. Hope it goes really well.

[@jaimelam]

Thank you! And yes it does fit on one stand :)

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Jaime L How did it go?

[@tanjiayan8034]

So tat's mean the cadence is perfect if it end at tonic?

[@MusicMattersGB]

+Tan Jiayan For grade 6, yes. In higher grades there is also a Plagal Cadence that ends on the tonic chord but for grade 6 - tonic finish = Perfect; not tonic finish = Imperfect. See www.mmcourses.co.uk for more.
