The age-old question: Should I take music exams? The exam structure is not for everyone and is never forced upon our students. Whilst there is more to being a good musician than simply learning how to pass an exam we believe the exam structure offers many advantages to students who wish to take them. 

​

​

• Accredited certification A certificate of your achievement – good for the CV or personal statement.
