| + | === Supporting Publications === | ||
| + | For practice purposes, sample Sight-reading tests are published by [[Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music]] in [[Percussion Sight-Reading Grades 1-5]]. Purchasing the book is not a requirement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Aural == | ||
| + | Listening lies at the heart of music-making and the ability to hear how music works helps with all aspects of musical development. Aural skills help with gauging the sound and balance of playing, keeping in time and playing with sense of rhythm and pulse. These skills also help to develop a sense of pitch, musical memory and the ability to spot mistakes. | ||
