Music Medals
Music Medals are innovative new assessments from ABRSM that motivate, challenge and inspire children who learn instruments in groups. Students who have individual lessons can also benefit from these assessment including Bronze, which I use as a preparation for their grade one exam. Music Medal assessments are recorded in the student's lesson by the teacher.

Assessment:
- An ensemble piece where the student is playing a different part than the teacher or other students in the assessment.
- A solo piece.
