Grade 7 Aural Tests - Identifying Modulations

Describing a modulation within a short piece of music. Suitable for candidates preparing for ABRSM Grade 7 practical exams. One of the aural tests for grade 7 involves being able to identify a modulation to the relative key, the dominant, or the subdominant. Many people find it impossible to hear a modulation - a change from one key to another - but this video shows you a fantastic method that will give you the correct answer every time! For grade 7, there are three options - a modulation to the relative key, to the dominant key, or to the subdominant key. Learning how to recognise changes of tonality between major and minor is followed by learning how to sing the original tonic throughout the piece in order to determine whether or not it fits the final chord - if it does, a modulation to the subdominant is confirmed; if it doesn’t, a modulation to the dominant has occurred. It’s a fantastic technique and you’ll be so glad to learn it. Beyond the exam, this opens up an understanding of modulation, the options, and the impact on the music we interpret as performers, listeners, and composers.
