Hi everyone
At my school they have free music theory lessons for grade 5 theory. I'm only grade 1 piano going onto grade 3 but i want to do it as i think i am capable to learn. The reason i think i could do it is because one of my friends is doing grade 5 theory and he actually asked me for an answer and i got it right when he (who's grade 4 piano) didn't even know. After that i've been helping him for ages.
So do you think i could do it?
What would you do in my position?

It often happens that people are different levels of theory to an instrument they may be learning.

If it's free, you have nothing to lose. There is plenty of information and knowledge to absorb in order to pass the exam. It's all very interesting and will of course help you to interpret the written score more easily.

Good luck!

Go for it - it's free and you can only learn from it! Some of the stuff may seem above you now (keys sigs with 6#, etc) but once you come to use that, it will seem easy. There's also the added bonus you won't have to 'catch-up' your theory when you've passed G5 practical, like so many have to

Enjoy

I agree with these guys ^^^ if it is free, you might as well do it - even if you don't get up to the standard to do the exam (and you might well anyway!) you will be getting free tuition and will improve your theory knowledge, which can only be a good thing

Yes, absolutely, if you feel you can understand the theory go for it. You might want to go through a couple of the earlier grades workbooks just quickly to make sure that you haven't missed anything out on the way. I did grade 5 theory just after grade 1 piano and didn't have any problems with it; if you're academically inclined it shouldn't really be a problem to you .

You will lose nothing by going for this.
