Preparing for Music Exams?
Associated Board Grade I – VIII, GCSE Music, A-Level music – these are all exams that test your ability to work with music notation.
If you sing or play but want to be better at sight reading PlayScore will help. Want to practice ear training or sight reading exercises without a teacher on the spot? Or suppose you have a book of pieces and you want to hear them through before deciding what to learn. Now you can find out what they should sound like.
Just snap the music and have PlayScore play it back – slow, fast, as many times as you want. You can repeat tricky passages, play along and more.
