skills to thedevelopment of a wider general sense of awareness.The Associated Board of the RoyalSchools of Music has given impetus to change by designing new tests for Grade 1 to 5from January 1993.  \nTeachers may like to use this booklet to supplement the aural training material they devisefor themselves.Like most musical skills,aural awareness needs regular training andpractice,and aural work should be part of every lesson.  \nNot all good instrumental teachers are necessarily fluent pianists.Most of the tests in thisbooklet therefore have simple pianoforte accompaniments.If necessary,even theseaccompaniments can be omitted,and the tests given as melodic lines only.Much use is made of songs,and it is hoped that the tests will stimulate further interest inthis great area of musical achievement  \nTeachers may like to use some of the tests in Section A as additional Section D m","cbCaicHjNHmL51Bm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicHjNHmL51Bm","pdf",1831073,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n##
