Welcome to the homepage of this site...

......which is designed primarily as a resource for music teachers and music students in The Bahamas. However there is much useful material here which will be of interest to music lovers worldwide.

Click on ABRSM to find information on the examinations offered in The Bahamas by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. You will also be able to find sample papers for the theory exams as well as pieces and scales for the practical exams. Theory workbooks and some practical albums can be obtained locally at the Good News Bookstore in the Town Centre Mall in Nassau. All other materials can be obtained online from musicroom.com - see the banner and link on the left

You can now access information on the BGCSE music examination, including notes on the Set Works, quizes and past papers. At a later date help with the practical element of the exam will be on this site. A CD Rom for the 2006 syllabus is also available for purchase by teachers. This comes with a good quality CD audio of the set works. Contact me if you need more information.

The listening page will soon be ready to sample. I am currently expanding this project to include all the Periods of music history. The entire package will then be available for purchase on a CD Rom. The idea is to provide listening experiences for students and so give them the opportunity to hear and follow the score of a variety of musical examples. They will also be able to take an interactive quiz after each listening experience.

The band page will be designed to assist instrumental teachers in their quest for the ultimate band sound. It will also contain a section for students entitled "Practice Makes Perfect' offering tips on the monster that most kids try to avoid. This section will also include samples of my band and ensemble arrangements which will then be available for sale in the products section.

All teachers complain about a lack of resources. In the resource pages you will soon find an extensive list of resources which will help make your life easier. It will include a listing of reputable music shops, which are willing to ship to international destinations. Check out the links on this page and below!
