SE22 Piano School ~ East Dulwich
Music Lessons for adults and children in East Dulwich & Music Aptitude Test training
ABRSM certificates have just arrived for candidates that sat their exams on March 6th and 7th. This year only, the certificates have a special design to commemorate 125 years of ABRSM exams. Certificates will be available to collect from Pellatt Road from Monday onwards. Do send us a hi-res photo of you with your certificate if you’d like this to appear in print in our Yearbook.
We have received our first set of results from Week 1 of the Winter ABRSM exam session. We have been particularly delighted with the comments written by the examiner that highlight the careful preparation and hard work of our exam candidates. A special congratulations to Safiya on achieving her fourth Distinction in a row!

Thanks to my colleague David Barton for flagging up this great resource from ABRSM where you can listen to a full Grade 5 piano exam, guess the mark and then see the actual score received along with an explanation of the score from the Chief Examiner. The sight-reading test is the most revealing of all, I think!
With many SE22 Piano School students sitting exams this Autumn, this will be great to see what is expected for the various categories of marks: Distinction, Merit and Pass. Also see our guide with various comment sheets from Examiners covering the three mark categories: Pass, Merit or Distinction? How examiners mark your ABRSM music exam.
