1How many semitones make up a perfect fifth (for example, C up to G)?
A.7
B.6
C.5
D.8
Explanation: A perfect fifth spans seven semitones. Counting from C: C#(1), D(2), D#(3), E(4), F(5), F#(6), G(7). This is one of the most consonant intervals and is essential for interval recognition in aural skills.
2A key signature with two sharps (F# and C#) indicates which major key?
A.G major
B.A major
C.D major
D.E major
Explanation: Two sharps (F# and C#) is the key signature of D major (and its relative minor, B minor). A quick rule for sharp keys: the major key is a semitone above the last sharp, so C# points to D.
3What is the relative minor of G major?
A.A minor
B.E minor
C.D minor
D.B minor
Explanation: The relative minor is built on the sixth degree of the major scale. For G major (one sharp) that tone is E, so the relative minor is E minor, which shares the same key signature.
4The interval from C up to Eb is a:
A.major third
B.minor second
C.perfect fourth
D.minor third
Explanation: C to E spans three letter names (C-D-E), making it some kind of third. The flat lowers the E, shrinking the distance to three semitones, which defines a minor third. This quality gives the minor triad its darker colour.
5How is the 6/8 time signature best described?
A.Three equal beats per bar
B.Four equal beats per bar
C.Two main beats per bar, each dividing into three eighth notes
D.Six strong beats per bar
Explanation: 6/8 is a compound duple meter: six eighth notes grouped into two beats, each a dotted quarter note subdivided into three. This distinguishes it aurally from 3/4, which has three simple beats.
6What is the relative major of F# minor?
A.A major
B.F# major
C.D major
D.E major
Explanation: The relative major lies a minor third above the minor tonic: F# up to A. F# minor and A major share the same key signature of three sharps (F#, C#, G#).
7Which alteration defines the harmonic minor scale?
A.It raises the sixth and seventh degrees
B.It lowers the sixth degree
C.It is identical to the natural minor
D.It raises the seventh degree
Explanation: The harmonic minor raises the seventh degree of the natural minor by a semitone (for example, G to G# in A minor). This creates a leading note that pulls to the tonic and allows a major dominant chord V.
8Which statement correctly describes the melodic minor scale?
A.It only lowers the third degree compared with major
B.It raises the sixth and seventh degrees ascending and restores the natural minor descending
C.It raises only the seventh degree in both directions
D.It lowers the sixth and seventh degrees when ascending
Explanation: The melodic minor raises the sixth and seventh degrees on the way up, smoothing the augmented second of the harmonic minor, and returns to the natural minor form on the way down. This two-direction behaviour is a classic exam point.
9When a major third is inverted (the lower note moved up an octave), it becomes a:
A.perfect fifth
B.minor third
C.minor sixth
D.major sixth
Explanation: Inversion rule: interval numbers add to nine (3 + 6 = 9) and major becomes minor. So a major third inverts to a minor sixth, for example C-E inverted becomes E-C.
10The dominant of a key is built on:
A.the fourth scale degree
B.the fifth scale degree
C.the third scale degree
D.the seventh scale degree
Explanation: The dominant is degree 5 of the scale (G in C major). The chord built on it (V) is the main source of harmonic tension that resolves to the tonic, which is why it dominates cadences.
