== Technical Requirements ==
Studies are important way to develop technical skills such as stick control, balance between hands, fluency and articulation. They also help to develop tone, pulse and dynamic control, and familiarity with rudimental patterns. This leads to greater confidence and security when sight-reading, learning new pieces and performing - from a score or from memory, as a solo musician or with others. 
'''About the test''': Candidates prepare two studies at each grade and examiners will request which one is to be played in the exam. Each Study is based on a set of rudiments; these are listed on the sheet music. 
'''Publications''': [[Percussion Exam Pieces & Studies, ABRSM Grade 5]] 
'''Content''': Study A & Study B 
'''Memory''': There is no requirement to play the Study from memory. 
'''Sticking''': Candidates may use any sticking that produces a successful musical outcome.

== Sight Reading ==
Sight-reading is a valuable skill with many benefits. Learning to sight-read helps to develop quick recognition of common rhythm patterns and tonality. Strong Sight-reading skills make learning new pieces quicker and easier, and also help when making music with others, so that playing in an ensemble becomes more rewarding and enjoyable.
=== About the Test ===
Candidates will be asked to play a short unaccompanied piece of music which they have not seen before. They will be giving half a minute to look through and, if they wish, try out all or any part of the test before they are asked to play it for assessment.
=== Supporting Publications ===
For practice purposes, sample Sight-reading tests are published by [[Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music]] in [[Percussion Sight-Reading Grades 1-5]]. Purchasing the book is not a requirement.

== Aural ==
Listening lies at the heart of music-making and the ability to hear how music works helps with all aspects of musical development. Aural skills help with gauging the sound and balance of playing, keeping in time and playing with sense of rhythm and pulse. These skills also help to develop a sense of pitch, musical memory and the ability to spot mistakes.
=== About the Test ===
1. To sing or play from memory a melody played twice by the examiner. 
2. To sing six notes from score in free time. 
3. To answer questions about two features of a piece played by the examiner 
4. To clap the rhythm of the notes in an extract from the same piece and identify whether it is in two time, three time or four time 
===Supporting Publications===
For practice purpose, sample Aural tests are published by [[Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music]]. Examples of the tests are given in [[Specimen Aural Tests]] and [[Aural Training in Practice]]. Purchasing these books is not a requirement.
