Part C: Understanding chords and line – 20 marks
There will be two questions.
First question – 8 marks – questions related to the harmony of a printed passage of unfamiliar music.
Second question – Complete a short passage of four-part harmony by adding alto, tenor, and bass parts to a given soprano part. You are likely to have to add five chords, ending with a cadence. You will be given a harmony exercise book called "Mrs D's Harmony Book". This is full of small exercises, teaching you how to write stylistically and accurately for SATB.
You are allowed to use a keyboard with headphones to complete this part of the exam, but you are not allowed to use computer software.
