ABRSM Piano Prep Tests

ABRSM

"Working towards this early goal encourages the development of good technique and sound musicianship. The Prep Test is also an ideal introduction to the experience of taking an exam.
  • No marks are awarded and there is no pass or fail
  • At the end of the assessment every candidate is rewarded with a certificate which includes positive and helpful comments from the examiner

The Test includes all the sorts of skills beginners will be developing at this stage, such as a sense of pitch and rhythm, controlled and even playing, accuracy and quality of tone."
