Connect practical skills and understanding
The course description includes practical playing, aural skills, technical work, sight reading, music theory and rhythm. Learning these together can help a student understand what they hear and play. A technically demanding passage, for example, becomes more meaningful when its rhythm, harmony and expression are understood as part of the music.
Use assessment to understand your next step
The school lists assessment and progress tracking within this program. These provide a framework for discussing what is developing and where further practice is needed. Share your experience and musical interests with the team so they can explain an appropriate starting level and the current learning arrangement.
Discuss graded study and optional exams
Urban Raga lists preparation pathways connected with ABRSM, Trinity College London, LCM and Rockschool RSL. Confirm the relevant instrument, board, syllabus and exam arrangements with the team before choosing an exam route. Current schedules, fees, registration and exam costs should be checked directly with the school.
