Music Theory Assessment Exam

The exam contains the following questions:

• Identifying pitches in treble and bass clef
• Completing measures in various meters already containing given note values or rests, by adding appropriate notes values or rests (e.g. a measure in 4/4 is given, already containing a dotted quarter note - one possible answer would be to complete the measure by adding an eighth note and a half note)
• Identifying the major and minor keys corresponding to a given key signature
• Writing major or minor scales (including natural, harmonic and melodic forms), using either accidentals or a key signature
• Writing chords, given a key and a roman numeral harmonic function (e.g. Write V6 in G major)

  • Identifying the higher of two pitches
  • Identifying a short melody (multiple choice answer)
