Pass your Grade 1 Trinity Music Theory Exam with Confidence
This grade 1 music theory course covers the topics set out on the Trinity College London syllabus. This is an entry level exam/course and is ideal if you:
... have recently begun learning to read printed music or
... are keen to discover more about how music "works"
Knowing music theory is the key to understanding written music so that you can perform it well, and also helps you to composer your own music and gain a deeper appreciation of the music you love to listen to.
What level is Grade 1?
Grade 1 is a beginner's level course - the highest level is grade 8, which is roughly equivalent to first year undergraduate level at university.
There are no pre-requisites for taking any theory exams.
What will I learn?
Please scroll down for the full curriculum! In a nutshell, this level introduces you to the concepts of reading notes in the treble and bass clefs, the different values of notes and rests, major scales and key signatures (in four easy keys), basic chords, counting intervals, and how to construct and write down musical rhythms. You'll also learn some of the most common symbols and terms used in music.
The course uses both UK and USA terminology for notes (crotchets AND quarter notes!)
What's included in the course?
Free copy of the MyMusicTheory Coursebook PDF. This is a comprehensive coursebook which goes into depth for each topic of the course, providing further examples and explanations.
The PDF includes hundreds of exercises for you to practice your skills (answers provided)
The PDF also includes a complete mock test in the style of the real exam
Support from your teacher is available.
I’d like to thank you for the wonderful courses. As an adult learner I’ve tried to learn music theory many times before with little success.
This time I completed the grade 1 theory course and managed to get a distinction in the course test.
I’m looking forward to starting the grade 2 course and do so with confidence – that’s a first for me where music theory is concerned!

A huge thank you for your PDF and video courses which I bought (the grade 1 to 5 package) a few years ago.
I’m delighted to say they enabled both my son and daughter to study independently at home.
My son achieved Grade 5 with distinction aged 14 and my daughter passed her grade 5 aged 11 last term.

Just a quick message to say thank you so much for creating excellent learning materials for the Music Theory Examinations.
I could not believe my eyes when I read Mark : 100 Cat : Distinction. I could not have achieved this without your excellent learning materials.
I have already started your Grade 2 Theory course and I plan to continue using your materials for my music theory studies

Hi, I'm Victoria Williams!
I started MyMusicTheory.com way back in 2007 - all my courses have been thoroughly tested by thousands of students and are constantly updated and improved. Here's a little bit more about me...
- I graduated with a degree in music, (specialising in musicology), from the University of Leeds in 1995.
- I hold both diplomas in music theory from Trinity College London AmusTCL (distinction) and LmusTCL. I also hold Grade 8 Composition (Distinction) from LCM. I teach woodwind and piano (and theory!) in South Cambridgeshire as a private and visiting music teacher, and also in a volunteer role at the local music workshop.
Students of my courses generally gain top marks in their exams (and so can you!)
