Working towards your ABRSM exam? Think you know your scales but worried that you might crack under pressure?

Download the Scalebox app today to give yourself the best chance of success. Practice the art of playing your scales and arpeggios well first time round, then test yourself with realistic mock exams. That way youll go into the exam room confident that your scales are well and truly prepared.

Please note: ScaleBox does NOT record or listen to the playing. It helps users improve their own listening and self-evaluation skills for more successful independent practice.


Simple and intuitive to use, Scalebox makes scale and arpeggio practice more fun and effective for everyone. It offers an innovative new way for students to prepare for ABRSM graded practical music exams, covering 11 popular instruments through grades 1-5.

The app remembers which tests you find difficult and adjusts the practice sessions accordingly. As you master tests they recur less frequently so practice is focused where it’s most needed.


Features


* Comprehensive ABRSM syllabus list

ScaleBox incorporates all scales, arpeggios and related tests from the latest ABRSM instrumental syllabuses. When requirements change ScaleBox is seamlessly updated with all the latest tests.

* Self assessment

Evaluate your performance using ScaleBoxs simple traffic light system. Track your success with the built-in progress review.

* Intelligent practice sessions

ScaleBox’s algorithm works out which tests you need to practice most. Over successive practice sessions the full range of scales and arpeggios for the selected instrument and grade are covered systematically.

* Mock exam practice

When you’re ready ScaleBox will simulate a mock practical exam, generating requests you might expect to be asked in a real exam situation.

* Share your scores

Results from your practice sessions and/or mock exam can be shared with your teacher and/or friends.

* Attractive graphics

Practice and mock exam results are clearly displayed in colourful visual charts.

* Great for teachers too

Scalebox motivates students to practice scales and arpeggios by making the process interactive and structured. It helps teachers to track which scales and arpeggios their students have mastered and which they are struggling with so lessons can be focused more effectively.
