The Piano Prep Test is an ideal introduction to the ABRSM exam experience: it gives students a goal to work towards and a certificate on the day - something to be really proud of. The test covers many elements that beginner pianists will be working on, including pitch, time, tone and performance. Our Piano Prep Test book has exciting new pieces, easy to follow instructions, listening games and entertaining illustrations. For the first time it includes duets as well as solo pieces. Preparing for your Piano Prep Test has never been more fun!

The ABRSM's popular and well-established Manual of Scales, Arpeggios and Broken Chords is now published in a new modern edition. Still containing all the standard scale and arpeggio patterns, it has been enlarged to include whole-tone scales, augmented arpeggios and additional broken chord patterns. Ruth Gerald, formerly Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal College of Music and a senior ABRSM consultant and examiner, has written an informative introduction, which includes some technical guidance and practice suggestions. This new edition with its clear page layout and accessible structure is an excellent resource for all pianists.
