This comprehensive course offers structured, step-by-step guidance for students preparing for the ABRSM Piano Grades 1 and 2 exams. Whether you’re a young learner or an adult beginner, the course provides a clear roadmap through each component of the exam, helping you develop essential technique, musicality, and exam confidence from the very start. You’ll begin with a solid understanding of how ABRSM assessments work, what examiners look for, and how to build a personalised practice routine that aligns with the syllabus.

Technique is at the heart of piano performance, and the course dedicates focused lessons on hand position, finger strength, scales, arpeggios, and touch control appropriate for Grades 1–2. You'll also strengthen your sight reading skills with engaging rhythm exercises, visual pattern recognition, and real-time strategies to improve fluency under pressure. Aural development is included to sharpen listening and response skills, covering echo clapping, singing, and recognition of key musical elements—vital for scoring well in the aural section of the exam.

In addition to core skills, you’ll work on repertoire mastery by learning how to select, interpret, and memorise pieces from Lists A, B, and C. The course promotes expressive playing, encourages stage confidence, and includes mock exam tasks to simulate real test conditions. Finally, learners are guided through exam-day preparation, mental focus strategies, and post-exam reflection to foster growth and progression into higher grades.
