Overview

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the core components of aural training, aligned with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) requirements for Grades 1–5. Aural skills are crucial for accurate musical interpretation, listening, and performance, and this course is designed to help students build those skills progressively, from the ground up. Starting with an understanding of what aural skills are and why they matter, learners explore pitch recognition, rhythmic dictation, interval training, and musical memory exercises. Each lesson combines theory and practical listening drills to develop both analytical and responsive capabilities. Students will practise identifying melodic movement, singing back intervals and rhythms, and clapping back patterns using time signatures such as 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8. The course also focuses on expressive elements in music, including changes in dynamics, articulation styles, and texture. Students will learn how to listen for subtle variations and apply this understanding to their own performances. Practical singing activities further strengthen musical memory and responsiveness, while daily aural practice routines reinforce learning over time. The final module includes targeted preparation for ABRSM-style aural tests, including common question formats, real exam scenarios, feedback strategies, and mock assessments. This ensures students are not only musically aware but also exam-ready with enhanced confidence and performance reliability.
This course is ideal for music students preparing for ABRSM Grades 1 to 5, as well as instrumental and vocal learners who wish to improve their ear training, listening confidence, and musical awareness. It also suits adult learners returning to music and teachers seeking structured practice tools for their students.
Learners should have basic music knowledge such as familiarity with pitch names and rhythms. Access to a keyboard or piano, a recording device for playback exercises, and a quiet environment for focused listening will support effective learning.
A strong foundation in aural skills enhances all areas of musical performance, whether in solo, ensemble, or examination contexts. This course supports progression to higher ABRSM grades and prepares students for advanced music study, auditions, ensemble work, and careers in music education, performance, or composition.
