Aural Training
Active listening is an important skill for developing musicality
Yet, many times Aural training gets neglected and left to the very end for preparation. Students come to me not understanding pulse, hesitant to sing, having limited knowledge on music history and unaware of musical features.
The aural component is also compulsory for all instruments in an ABRSM Examination.
