What is Aural Training?
Aural training develops your ability to hear and understand music. It's the bridge between music theory on paper and real musical understanding. In ABRSM exams, aural tests are worth marks in every grade. In GCSE, musical dictation is a key component of the listening exam. Regular practice dramatically improves your performance in both written and practical assessments.
