ABRSM Piano Exam Prep: Tips from a Teacher in Pasir Ris
Jul 8, 2025
Preparing for ABRSM piano exams can feel overwhelming. Here are quick tips to keep students on track.

Start early
Give yourself at least 6–9 months before the exam. Rushed prep causes stress.

Balance scales and pieces
Scales aren’t just “technical work” — they improve hand strength and speed.

Practice little and often
Daily 20-minute focused sessions work better than one long cram session.

Simulate exam conditions
Play through all exam pieces without stopping — this builds stamina and calm.
