Aural Training
Master the listening, singing, and response exercises that make up the ABRSM aural test — the difference between a pass and a distinction in your practical exam.
Train Your Ear.
Master the Aural Test.
Aural skills are a vital part of every musician's development — and a key component of the ABRSM practical exams. Our Aural Training Lessons are specially designed to help students excel in this important section of the exam.
Through guided listening, singing and response exercises, students learn to recognise musical features such as melody, rhythm, dynamics, tonality and style — all essential for scoring well in the aural test.
Taught by experienced instructors with deep knowledge of the ABRSM aural section, we cover every test component from Grade 1 through Grade 8 — building real listening confidence one skill at a time.
What You'll Learn
Four core skills built up week by week — every one of them tested in the ABRSM aural section, every one of them transferable to your wider musicianship.
