If you are working through the ABRSM grades on your instrument, then you will need to pass the ABRSM theory grade 5 exam in order to take further exams on your instrument grade 6 onwards.

Why does ABRSM require a prerequisite before taking a Grade 6-8 Practical exam.

ABRSM encourages the development of the all-round musician from the earliest stages of learning. We believe that good foundations in performance and theory create confident musicians and as a student progresses, the development of connections between musical skills, knowledge and understanding becomes increasingly important, and is essential to deeper appreciation of how music works.
We believe that such an appreciation is fundamental to effective musical communication in all its forms, enhancing musical awareness, sensitivity and control in performance. Grade 5 in Music Theory, Practical Musicianship or Jazz encompasses essential aspects of musical learning that prepare candidates for solid, sustainable success in practical exams at Grades 6, 7 and 8, as well as laying lifelong foundations for their future as musicians.

Online teaching is an ideal way of working through the theory grades, I currently teach pupils using the tools of Zoom, an iPad and an apple pencil, using music theory pdfs. This is fantastic way of teaching without anyone having to travel (environmentally friendly), with the lessons online in the comfort of your own home.
