Have you passed Grade 5 Theory but still feel unsure when looking at chords, harmony exercises or chord progressions?
You're not alone.
 
Many students can identify scales, intervals and key signatures, yet struggle to understand how chords work together in real music. This is exactly where Beyond Grade 5: Triads and Chord Progressions begins.
 
Designed specifically for students moving beyond Grade 5, this practical workbook takes you step by step into the world of harmony. You'll learn how chords are built, how they function within a key, and how they connect to create convincing musical progressions.
 
Inside this ebook you will learn:
✓ How harmony works in real music
✓ How to build and identify all four types of triads
✓ Chord inversions and chord positions
✓ Open and close position writing
✓ Rules for doubling and omitting notes
✓ How to link chords correctly using common notes
✓ How to avoid common harmony mistakes
✓ The foundations of keyboard and SATB harmony writing
 
Unlike traditional theory books, this guide doesn't just explain concepts—it helps you experience them.
 
Throughout the book you'll find:
• Clear, jargon-free explanations
• Progressive exercises with answers
• "Tasks to Grasp" activities that reinforce every topic
• Listening examples and audio references
• Piano-based activities that help you hear harmony in action
 
By the end of the book, you won't simply know what a chord is—you'll understand how harmony creates structure, direction and meaning in music.
 
Whether you're preparing for Grade 6 Theory, studying GCSE or A-Level Music, working towards diploma-level study, or simply wanting to understand the music you play, this book provides the essential foundation that most students never receive.
 
If you want to study harmony confidently, this is where you start.
