- Not everything is covered of G6 ABRSM Theory
The book doesn't cover everything needed to know to pass the Grade 6 ABRSM Theory. My teacher, and other theory books, brought up things that i didn't know anything about - and I've been religiously studing G6 as my intention is to get to G8 & then pass the diploma.
After i couldn't find things my teacher looked and he couldn't find them either.

I don't like to be negative but i didn't really find this book good or that helpfull. My Teacher asked me if i would leave it at her house so she could have a look at it - she wasn't impressed either.
Perhaps its because it has a new author? So far from 1-5 it has been Eric Taylor, the grade 6 book is by Peter Aston & Julian Webb.
It only slightly touches on figured bass and doesn't go into alot of detail about the rules and techniques etc.. even though it is a fundamental part of the exam paper.

I'm lucky i have an excellent teacher but the people who rely on ... Read More:

- Depth and Beauty beyond Grade 5
For all those who have done Grade 5 theory and enjoyed it, this is a great way to discover something beyond. The material is certainly more advanced - and so more fulfilling. If you want to set out on the journey to a new level, and enjoy the richness and depth behind great music, this is a good way to go. And of course essential for those who plan to sit the exam.
