The course provided my learningmusictheory.co.uk is designed to (hopefully) teach you, one lesson at a time, everything you need for grade 1.

After each lesson there is exercises. It is recommended you go through these exercises and check them regularly against the answers provided in a seperate file.

You don’t need to complete every question in every exercise, but it is recommended to complete enough exercises so that you are consistently getting the correct answer, and the exercises no longer present any challenge. The foundations you learn in the early grades are priceless.

If you are already comfortable with much of the terms within grade 1, I recommend checking out the Summary, and check you understand and know about everything discussed in there, before moving on to official Past Papers, our own Grade 1 Review Questions, or grade 2.

If you are studying for a graded exam, I highly recommend you check out Foreign Terms before getting started with any of the lessons (whether on this website or any others). You are expected to know the translations for all of the foreign terms listed in that lesson. So it is worth starting to learn them now, and gradually learning them day by day, a few at a time.
