Ok... . OK, so Trebor might be exaggerating ever so slightly, but he has a point. Grade 6 theory is pre 'A' level standard stuff. You are a first year uni student on an academic course at a 'proper' university. You will stroll it. Steve

That's exactly why I'm worried. Everyone just expects me to do well just because I am a university student. Doesn't always work like that. I've been doing harmony all year and I still get things wrong and get confused.

That's almost 3 weeks away. Civilisations have risen, fallen and risen again in that length of time. Quoted the wrong bit. This is what I meant by exaggerating ever so slightly ;D

Just really really small civilisations. Which are travelling close to the speed of light so time passes slower for them relative to us an......................I'll stop talking now.

Back to the topic please... Yes Miss So anyone got any tips for the first question - harmonising the melody? My current method of guessing the chords seems a bit hit and miss.

I guess too . I think we should look at the note and see what chords could fit, and then see what progression would go. If we start with the cadence points, because the progressions for those are more obvious.

Sorry, that appeared to be "Any other daft twerp entered themselves for this exam this session? When do we receive the confirmation of it?" Don't know. Steve

Although sometimes the cadences are still hard to get. And after I've written out the possible chords I get stuck with the decision: ii or IV, IV or ii - I have no idea. And don't get me started on inversions

Haha Steve.... I have my confirmation . I agree about cadences. The last one is obvious though usually. It is more often than not going to be perfect so we could use iib Ic Va Ia - that is the most common one I think. If that isn't possibly, due to some of the notes, then something similar to that would do I hope. With regards to inversions, I seriously do make it up! Don't have too many of the same inversions in a row and do not use Ic in the middle of a piece, only at a cadential point.
