This online resource is absolutely brilliant. It not only gives systematically clear explanations of the required skills for the Level 3 Harmonic and Tonal Analysis exam, but students are carefully guided in how to best respond to the questions, in order to perform their absolute best in the exam. Any student wanting to be thoroughly prepared for the AS91421 external exam will benefit considerably from this resource, and it will be a welcome support for teachers in this time when teaching and study opportunities have been greatly impacted
Catherine Graham - HOD Music, Bethlehem College
Kathryn has produced another awesome music resource. I love this course in particular as it guides you through the entire paper and all the knowledge you need to attempt this standard. There are interactive learning moments throughout to test your knowledge and the videos are clear and concise and very easy to follow. It builds on the basic elements, roman numerals, jazz chords, cadences, modulation and more. Could be used in a class setting or completed as an individual. I cannot recommend this enough
Marcy Stunell - TIC Music and Performing Arts, Rotorua Lakes High School
I wouldn't have got my Excellence for this standard without this. The course is easy to follow, structured well so that everything you need to know is covered, and I felt prepared for each of the three questions.
