Pathway to Grade Three is the fourth book in the series which continues the clear, concise but comprehensive style of Pathway to Grade Two. It will guide you through the syllabus requirements for a Grade Three Theory exam.

Contents

Pathway to Grade Three contains four main sections:

1. Pitch and rhythm;
2. Scales, intervals and triads;
3. Harmony and melody writing;
4. Signs and terms, transposition and form.

Each section concludes with a revision test covering all topics up to that point. Furthermore, the book contains a glossary which summarises the terms, signs and concepts presented throughout the book with concise explanations.

The final section of the book has two test papers in the format and style of actual ANZCA exams. Try to finish each paper within the two hour time limit of the ANZCA Grade 3 exam, without looking back through the book.

Both the revision sections and the test papers include marks to help assess your standard and progeress. Be sure to research your previous work and take care to accurately read and answer questions to avoid losing marks.
