ABRSM Piano Exams

Ja-Da is a song written in 1918 by jazz pianist Bob Carleton

Something a little different today.

Winter is just around the corner so it’s an opportunity to start some fun indoor hobbies. For a couple years before lockdown, I had private tuitions to learn to play the piano.

Learning to play a musical instrument is very educational and entertaining. I’ve been fascinated by the electronic keyboard ever since my parents gave me one for a childhood birthday present. So, it took a considerable number of years before the opportunity arose to learn play properly. It was great fun studying for the ABRSM exams even though the actual piano lessons were challenging.

As someone who loves mathematics, I really enjoyed learning the musical notation on the sheet music. The ABRSM syllabuses consists of 4 parts. Playing 3 pieces, Sight-reading, Aural tests, Scales and arpeggios. The 3 pieces is the one you have to practice and study the most for the practical exam.
