What is the Music Aptitude Test?
Also known at the MAT, the Music Aptitude Test is used by state secondary schools in the UK to select a percentage of their intake on a full or half Music Scholarship system. The tests are quite unusual in that some schools use test with electronically generated beeps, graphic scores and other unfamiliar topics to students that are already learning a musical instrument. We have designed materials that will give you a flavour of the kinds of tests you will hear on the day.
We have been using these test materials successfully with our students for nearly a decade and regularly have success stories of entry to local schools such as Kingsdale, Haberdashers and Prendergast. We also receive feedback each year of successful entry to Ashmole Academy, Coopers Coborn, Dame Alice Owen and many other UK schools.
