Exams

At Belfast Music Lessons we provide tuition for grade exams in all of our subjects. These can help you progress as a musician but also give you a step up when applying to music courses such as GCSE / A Level or University. Each exam also holds UCAS points.

​

Rockschool uses modern pop/rock songs throughout its syllabus along with music theory tests. You buy one book with all the content, pick 3 songs and perform them to a backing track provided. Then a few technical exercises, rhythmic recall, scales, improvisation etc

LCM is for the singers specifically as its music theatre based and requires you to pick 3 contrasting songs within a particular time period and perform them with some costume and a little acting. There is no music theory but the examiner will ask a few basic questions regarding the pieces you choose to sing.

​

ABRSM  for the pianists who are classically minded. Similarly you pick a few pieces from their book and perform them with ear tests and scales. Their Prep Test is particularly suited to early years students with no pass or fail.

Some students prefer the music theatre, acting and singing go hand in hand. Learning music theory for Rockschool might sound intimidating but honestly is very achievable with our full proof method!

These same skills can be utilised when you're auditioning and need to perform to a particular standard.
