Ratings and Reviews
Doesn’t Cover Syllabus Songs
In principle this app was exactly what I was looking for - just one catch - only 12 songs can be purchased for Grade 2 and these were none of the songs I needed. Why? I have no idea. It’s shocking that ABRSM provides no access to actual “Audio” material for an audio based art form - instead leaning on material in “symbolic” ie. word and sheet music form. Very poor accessibility !
Is it too much to ask for a sound track of someone singing a syllabus piece ? Feels like teaching 191 has been skipped here.
A bit disappointed
I’m a bit disappointed with this as I was expecting to be able to get any song that is on the syllabus. Unfortunately, for Grade 3, this doesn’t list all the songs that my daughter is covering for her exam! A shame as the other 2 songs are great for practice.
Developer Response ,
Hello PurpleBabayaga,
Thank you for your comment, we are glad you find this app useful for practising.
As stated in the store description, It is currently possible to purchase all accompaniments from the ABRSM Songbook Plus series. These accompaniments match the exam requirements as described in the ABRSM Songbook Plus books. Where appropriate, cuts or edits have been made to the pieces to achieve this.
Poor
First of all the app doesn’t work on my Apple device. I was expecting the backing tracks to come with the book purchase as many other grade organisations provide the tracks when you purchase the book. However, this is not the case with ABRSM. You are expected to purchase the book then make a further purchase for the backing track in order to rehearse and finally a fee for your grade entry. As someone who puts children and young adults through their grades each year I feel it is a lot to ask from the parents of the children I teach and will consider changing grade organisations.
