Thank you Mark - just found your video yesterday and I've been all the way through it - thoroughly recommend it for anyone about to sit grade 5 theory - absolutely excellent!
8.34- Chapter 11, Exercise 2 B I had chosen Legato as I had no idea what to choose. Could you please explain why it's cantabile? Is it because of the tie? I feel lost on this one 😅
Is there a mistake in 7.37? "a tempo" should be "in time" not "time" right? thank you and thanks for making this so easier to correct own work at home :)
It's written for Clarinet in A, so it's talking about the instrument, not the actual sheet music (as opposed to a clarinet in Bb, or Eb etc, for purpose of the transposition question)
Thank you Mark! This is more useful than some music teachers that people paid :) For Q3.3, when it comes to minor keys, is it ever melodic? Or always harmonic and just raised 7th simple as that? Is there any reason why it's always harmonic? (if so)
Juste wow, je n'ai pas les mots tellement c'est exceptionnel. Vraiment bravo, la musique est super bien refaite, tout est bien ordonné. Comment est-ce possible de jouer aussi bien? Gros soutien à toi et encore bravo.
Exactly. In my honest opinion, Gusty Garden Galaxy is one of the most beautiful pieces of music we have today. I adore the soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy.
Id just like to say how engaging and fantastic your videos are!!!! Theyre so helpful and the best resource i have ever found for preparation in the abrsm 5 theory exam, i hope you get wayyy more views and likes as thats what you truly deserve!
42:55 it doesn’t make sense that you use A natural because this is a descending harmonic scale. In the ascending, the 7th note is raised by half a step, but in descending, it follows the natural minor scale. So shouldn’t it be A flat?
I haven't checked this video in a long time - 45k views!! Wow...anyway sorry, to your question: Harmonic minors are the same up and down, it's only Melodic minors that change depending on whether they're ascending or descending, so the A natural is correct here as the question is asking for Harmonic minor
