We are starting to a spike in our web stats for the Music Aptitude Test preparation as students that sit the test earlier for schools such as Ashmole Academy start doing their internet research.

We currently have a small selection of weekly slots reserved for online tutoring but if you click Follow on our Eventbrite organiser profile, you will be informed by email as soon as we release all the dates in the Easter Holidays onwards.

We have been tutoring students for entry to all UK state secondary schools that use the Music Aptitude Test and will tailor the lesson to the exact needs of your chosen schools as they all use a slightly different test. If you look at the Eventbrite listing here you can see extensive information about what the tutor session involves and a sample video of a lesson.

Music Aptitude Test Tip of the Day: Picking the Perfect Audition Pieces

At your first music lesson of term, make sure you pick one or two pieces that you can already play quite well and ask your teacher to come up with a plan of action to get these perfect by the end of the month.

The new term is an exciting time for music scholars!

My top tip for choosing the right repertoire would be to go for something fun, funky and memorable. Choose a piece that’s not in the graded exam book as most musicians will turn up clutching the latest exam book so the audition panel will hear the same pieces over and over again.

Go for something with a catchy title that will be an interesting discussion point with the audition panel. Make sure you have asked your teacher how to pronounce the composer’s name. See if you can find out an interesting fact about the composer that you can throw into the conversation. A quick search online should reveal plenty of information as a starting point.

We offer 1-to-1 lessons on Zoom to help students prepare for the Music Scholarship & Aptitude Test. These sessions are open to all musicians from any area.

Keep an eye out for our new article in the 2020 Scholarships supplement publication from Music Teacher Magazine all about the Music Aptitude Test and State School Scholarships. Released on 1st September.
