  Candidates will be required to write all seven tests. The Aural Tests will be administered             by means of a CD/cassette, a copy of which will be sent to each examination centre on             the day of the examination.   (a)        Rhythmic Dictation A melody not exceeding 4 bars will be played four times. Candidates will be                                   required to write the rhythm on a monotone. Before playing the passage, the                           examiner will give the time signature and indicate the speed at which the pulse of                           the music moves. The passage may be in either simple or compound time. (8 marks)   (b)       Melody Writing Candidates will be required to write from dictation a short melodic passage not                              exceeding 4 bars and which may contain elements of African Music.   Before playing the passage, the examiner will indicate the speed at which the                                  pulse of the music moves. The passage may be in either simple or compound                                    time. The piece, which may be modal or in a major or minor key, will normally                            begin on the first beat of a bar. If the music is in a major or minor key, the key                          will be named and tonic chord sounded, followed by the key note. If in a mode,                                    the tonal centre and the mode will be played.   The pulse will be given and the melody will first be played in its entirety. It will                           then be played twice in sections at short intervals of time and finally it will be                                     repeated in its entirety.                                                                       (8 marks)     (c)        Writing the Upper or Lower part of a Two-Part Phrase A two-part phrase in a major or minor key not exceeding four bars will be played.                        The candidates will be required to write out either the upper or the lower part in                                full. The key and time-signature will be given and the tonic chord sounded. The                              passage will be played four time. The passage may be in either simple or time.                                                                                                                                           (8 marks)   (d)       Chords A passage in a named key containing not more than eight chords will be played.                            The candidate will be required to identify chords employed in the progression by                                 using the Roman numerals e.g. Ic, V, vib, etc. or a technical description of each                               chord, e.g. dominant, first inversionsub-dominant, root position etc. The passage              will be played four (4) times at a reasonably slow pace. The key will be given                          and the tonic chord sounded before the passage is played through. (8 marks) (e)        Cadences Candidates will be required to recognize and name any of the following cadences                            (perfect, imperfect, interrupted or plagal) occurring in a musical example in a                             major key. After the tonic chord has been sounded, the whole musical sentence                             will be played through 3 times with due deliberation at short intervals. Only four                                 examples will be given which may not necessarily have to be different. (6 marks)   (f)        Modulations Candidates will be required to recognize and name simple changes of key. Four                             examples will be given, each starting from the same tonic key and containing one                                   modulation only.   Modulations will be limited to the dominant, subdominant, and relative major or                            minor keys. After the key has been named and the tonic chord sounded, each of                          the four examples will be played through three times. The test will not                                           necessarily contain examples of modulations to four different keys: the same key-change may re-occur. (6 marks)   (g)        Identification/Description of Themes Candidates will be required to identify or describe the characteristics of three                                 themes or excerpts taken from selected pieces, at least one of which will be                           African. Each theme/excerpt will be played three times. Before each passage is                             played, the Examiner will tell candidates exactly what they are expected to do.                              Questions will be limited to the form, style or genre of excerpt played, principal                              instrument(s) playing, scale or mode employed and meter. (6 marks)
