ABRSM2014

Thursday 25 September 2014Friday 26 September 2014

Increase the effectiveness of your piano teaching using the ABRSM marking criteria!

• Explore repertoire from the 2015 & 2016 Piano syllabus

• Develop a deeper understanding of the revised marking criteria

• Experience live demonstrations of pass, merit and distinction performances

• Be inspired by videos of good teaching practice and learn how to plan lessons effectively

• Discover new ways to help you achieve even better results!

Teachers can look forward to a unique series of inspiring presentations on the new Piano syllabus, led by ABRSM’s Chief Examiner John Holmes, in collaboration with pianist Gary Matthewman.

At each event, John will explain how examiners use the revised ABRSM marking criteria to assess different aspects of playing, and how to get the most from the examiner’s mark form comments.

To complement this, Gary will be performing a range of pieces across all the grades, to demonstrate the vital musical ingredients which make for characterful, stylistic and communicative piano playing.

Come away with fresh ideas and practical resources that will help develop your students’ awareness and control of pitch, time, tone, shape and performance, which are the Hallmarks of distinction!
