I attended ABRSM teacher support workshop, held at 4 pm, last Friday (7 November) at Methodist Ladies College, Claremont. The two-hour workshop entitled "The ABRSM exam experience: assessing musical performance" was presented by a visiting ABRSM examiner, Richard Lewis. This workshop was very helpful to me as none of my students have sat for an ABRSM exam yet and neither have I. I certainly gained a good understanding and insights into how the exams are structured and marked, and what I need to consider in order for my students' musical development and effective exam preparations. I would like to give my special thanks to Mrs Judy Thonell, honorary local representative for WA, for organising such a wonderful event for music teachers and for her helpful comments in the Q&A session.
For those who would like to know more about ABRSM, information about ABRSM exams can be found at au.abrsm.org. Also, I have linked a YouTube video (Grade 1 piano exam) for those who want to get a clear idea of what happens in the exam.
