Our Teaching Approach

Simultaneous Learning

The process of learning music contains elements of listening, performing, memory, rhythm, notation, theory, composition, improvisation, character, and expression. Our music lessons include these elements in the learning process in the form of appropriate, continuously achievable musical activities. The goal of this process is to produce positive and empowered learners. This approach was developed by Paul Harris and is the basis for ABRSM and MTB exams.

Exams

ISM provides exam preparation and recording options for students to take all of the following online exams:

Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ARBSM)

ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) is an international organisation that offers standardised classical exams for many instruments and all levels of musical ability in over 90 countries.
