== 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 clap the pulse of a piece played by the examiner, and to identify whether it is in two time or three time. <br/>
 +
2. To sing as 'echoes' three phrases played by the examiner.<br/>
 +
3. To identify a change in either pitch or rhythm during a phrase played by the examiner.<br/>
 +
4. To answer questions about two features of a piece played by the examiner.<br/>
 +
===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.
