Good to know
Things parents ask us first
Consistent practice beats long lessons
Short daily practice between lessons drives progress far more than lesson length alone. A weighted keyboard or acoustic piano at home makes graded advancement realistic.
Theory gates the higher practical grades
ABRSM requires a Grade 5 Theory (or equivalent) before practical Grades 6 to 8. Planning theory alongside practical avoids a stall at Grade 6.
Grades can support DSA and music CCA
A recognised ABRSM or Trinity grade strengthens a DSA music portfolio and supports band, orchestra or music CCA selection — useful for music-inclined students.
Exams are optional
Many learners, especially adults, play purely for enjoyment. Lessons are paced to the goal with no exam pressure unless graded progression is wanted.
