I have my grade 5 exam and I am really strugglin with the aural tests. I am unsure about texture etc?

Question

My exam is today so please help!!!

Answer 1

For texture think legato, staccato, the shape or form of the melody, differences in p and f etc., where it changes key  -  all the things that help to make it interesting.

Good luck with your exam.

Answer 2

It will be fine, when they talk about things like texture they just mean depth, feeling, loud, soft etc.

Just try your best, it's grade five so you should have a fair idea by now! Don't worry too much as you don't have to do great on the aural section, if you do well on the pieces you will pass.

Why don't you post this question in music, it may help.

Good Luck

Answer 3

It's probably a little late to do anything about this now, but don't worry aural is not a massive part of Grade 5, if you play well then you will make up the points.

For your next grade make sure you get some help with this subject some months before the test, because really, aural is not easy and can't be studied alone.  My vibes tell me you will pass today, so relax and break a leg (but not a string!)
