This session offers an in‑depth exploration of the updated repertoire, examining new highlights and much-loved favourites.  

The pieces have been carefully chosen to develop your students’ musical curiosity, strengthen technical foundations and broaden stylistic awareness. Practical teaching strategies will be shared throughout, including approaches to introducing unfamiliar styles and developing holistic ideas that balance technique with creativity. Whether you are preparing candidates or seeking fresh inspiration, this seminar provides a valuable head start in engaging with ABRSM’s next syllabus.
