At each event, professional pianists Ann Martin-Davis and Loo Bang Hean will explain how our examiners use ABRSM’s marking criteria to assess different aspects of playing, and how to get the most from the examiner’s mark form comments.
To complement this, the presenters will perform a range of pieces across all Grades 1 -5 to demonstrate the vital musical ingredients which make for more characterful, stylistic and communicative playing.
Come away with fresh ideas and practical resources that will help develop your students’ awareness and control of pitch, time, tone, shape and performance!
Each conference includes a welcome pack and special discounts on ABRSM publications.
