2007 Online Survey
Music Medals Online Survey
The following comments were received from Teacher-Assessors in response to an online survey conducted by ABRSM's Music Medals team:
"Best thing that has happened to my teaching in 25 years. Brilliant for early learners."
"Music Medals have been a valuable addition to my teaching goals. They are great for beginners and set useful shorter-term targets for use in between exams. The options cater to all musical strengths and encourage me to do more improvisation with my students."
"My students enjoy Music Medals and can't wait to go on to the next level."
"I think that Music Medals are a brilliant idea! Great for encouraging more ensemble playing and opportunities for the students to improve their own listening skills without too much intervention from teachers. I have had only positive feedback from my pupils."
"I have found the process really positive within my school and the Music Medals staff have always assisted with any queries I have had promptly and professionally."
"My students, of all ages, have gained confidence and increased their self-esteem when achieving a Music Medal."
"They are very popular with the children, and the flexibility of timing makes them very popular with schools. The fact that children don't have to be taken out of school makes them popular with parents."
"My pupils enjoy them and are keen to work towards their next Medal. They provide a target to work towards and recognition of their achievements, and fit much better into my teaching than a formal exam. The ensemble element provides an invaluable opportunity for pupils to work together."
