Our Theory of Music syllabus responds to modern teaching and learning styles and can be taken as a paper-based exam or as on on-demand digital exam. Supporting both formats of the exam are Theory of Music Workbooks presenting the study of musical theory in bright and practical formats, attractive to both the student and the teacher. Not only will it help you to progress more quickly on your instrument, studying for our Theory exams will help you to gain a broad understanding of classical music. Past papers can be downloaded for further exam practice.
Although there are no theory prerequisites for taking any Trinity College London practical graded exams, theoretical musical knowledge works to enhance and support practical studies.
