Many students will soon be sitting Music Aptitude Tests for secondary school entry throughout the UK. Did you know about our dedicated site for mock music aptitude tests?
The MAT is a series of listening tests that uses electronically generated sounds to provide a level playing field for candidates by not using real instrument sounds. Students that are familiar with the Aural part of ABRSM and Trinity exams may not necessarily be at an advantage as these tests are all conducted at the piano in the examination. The MAT tests uses microtones – intervals smaller than a semitone that do not exist on a piano. This means that pianists are not familiar with these small intervals. Find out more at our web site:
You can purchase the sample Music Aptitude Tests online from our dedicated web site.

I spent a thoroughly enjoyable day at the Fazioli Pianoforti Factory in the company of piano teachers and technicians. We were shown around by Paolo Fazioli, the man behind these wonderful pianos. We saw the entire process of creating a piano from start to finish. The factory houses a concert hall and Australian pianist John Granger Fisher played a programme of music by Liszt, Scarlatti, Brahms and Chopin.
Fazioli Pianos has been producing grand and concert grand pianos since 1981, when the company was established by the engineer and pianist Paolo Fazioli. His love for music, scientific expertise, skill as an artisan and his passion for research combined with rigorous material selection make every Fazioli piano a masterpiece that combines unique functional, aesthetic and sound characteristics. The factory is situated in Sacile, in the province of Pordenone, 60 km north east of Venice, in an area that boasts a time honoured and prestigious tradition in the art of wood working.
In 2001, production moved to a new 5,000 square metre complex that was specially designed to cater for the specific requirements of piano construction. It was built to meet the most modern criteria for practicality, luminosity and climate control.
