AMEB Examiner & Independent Music Education Consultant Valerie Lang presented a practical session with short exercises to include in your music lessons to develop your students' aural and musicianship skills on 22nd February 2024. This is a recording of that workshop.

Do you have time to develop your students' aural skills in your instrumental lessons?

No matter how long the instrumental lesson is, there never seems to be enough time to include all the musical aspects which ideally would assist us to develop "well-rounded" musicians.

How do we assist to develop the aural skills required for the aural tests in the comprehensive AMEB Examinations, which cover technical work, repertoire, aural, sight reading and general knowledge? And how do we fit it all in? Students who use a "Repertoire" syllabus would also benefit from developing their aural skills, even if they aren't explicitly tested on it.

It does take some planning by the teacher to teach and include practice of all section of the exam in all (or most) lessons. It is possible to develop our students' aural skills throughout the technical work, repertoire, sight reading and general knowledge elements of instrumental lessons! In this workshop, Valerie Lang demonstrates how she does just that, incorporating aural and musicianship training from the very beginning. You'll also find some exercises, tips and tricks to assist with the aural tests for each grade in the AMEB examinations.
