Three places will be awarded for musical aptitude at Old Swinford Hospital school each academic year.
Boys wishing to be considered for a place based on musical aptitude are required to sit an aptitude assessment test. The test has four component parts: pitch, melody, texture and rhythm. It is a test which requires them to listen to music, to write about what they hear and reply, for example, clap out a rhythm or sing back a series of notes.
You can prepare for the Music Aptitude Tests by using the following specimen tests that are indicative of the style of test used: http://musicaptitudetest.co.uk/
