Students who enrol for theory-via-email will be guided and helped towards achieving as high a standard as possible in attaining their goal. Following the successful completion of their chosen course students may (if they wish) enter for the appropriate exam set by either Associated Board or Trinity Guildhall (note that both chosen boards operate throughout the world), though it will be the students responsibility to enter for this exam. To find out details about exams in your local area contact www.trinityguildhall.co.uk or www.abrsm.org Most students may wish to continue through the course until they reach the end of Grade 5, after which they enter for the external Grade 5 exam only. Of course, it is not compulsory for students to take external exams; they may simply wish to learn more about how to read music. Whichever way, students have freedom and flexibility in making their choices.
