Prep Test

The Test encourages the building of good musical and technical foundations. It touches on many of the skills that learners will be developing at this stage, including the basics of musical perception, an awareness of pitch and rhythm, accuracy and quality of tone and controlled, even playing.
Examiners are not the silent, severe judges that people sometimes expect. In fact, they are unfailingly friendly and supportive and want you to do well!
