Aural tests are an integral part of all ABRSM Practical graded music exams. The Specimen Aural Tests provide teachers and students with many practice examples of the tests to use as part of a music lesson or when preparing for an exam.

This volume covers Grade 8 and includes:

all new practice examples for each test in a range of musical styles

the examiner rubrics (the exact words that will be used by the examiner to deliver the tests), so that candidates can be fully prepared for what will happen on the day

descriptions of the tests as they appear in the syllabus

model answers, where appropriate, as a guide to the sort of responses that would be successful in the exam
