The Truth About Music Exams
A common question from parents is, “When is my Child ready for their ^irst music exam?” There are Pive truths to this question. Truth No.1: Positive daily practice habits need be established at home (30-60minutes) along with
appropriate dedicated practice area. Truth No.2: Children today are over commitment with many other extra curricular activities and simply Pinding the time after school to practice may be challenging for many families.
Truth No.3: Preparing to undertake music exams is a long term goal setting activity and requires sacriPice and commitment on a daily basis and may not be suited for all music students. Truth No.4: If students are not prepared to practice scales and technical exercises daily, preparing for music exams may not be suited for them. Truth No.5: Success in music exams as with any skill based activity is “The sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out” (R. Collier).
