Read our Q&A with music examiner Richard Deering now

19 May 2017

‘If you work outward from the piece’s title to the notes and rhythms, you can then conjure up pictures in your mind about what it is that you wish to share with your audience.’

Take a look at our new blog post in the 'Meet Trinity’s Music Examiner' series. In the latest post Richard Deering gives his tips for preparing for a graded music exam, talks about his own experiences of taking an exam, and reveals what he looks for from a candidate during an exam.
