Welcome to the GRAPHIC SCORE MASTERCLASS
Build Listening Confidence for the 11+ Music Test
Our Graphic Score Masterclass helps students master one of the most important – and often confusing – parts of the 11+ Music Aptitude Test: matching sounds to pictures.
This engaging digital lesson gives children the tools to understand graphic scores with confidence, even if they have never learned traditional music notation.
By the end of the lesson, children will be able to:
✔ Recognise how pictures represent musical sounds
✔ Follow graphic scores accurately while listening
✔ Identify key musical features with confidence
✔ Approach graphic score questions without guessing
Perfect for beginners and experienced musicians alike, this masterclass removes the mystery from graphic scores and turns them into one of the easiest sections of the test.
Give your child the skills – and the confidence – to succeed.
Through guided listening activities, clear visual clues, and step-by-step explanations, students learn exactly how graphic scores represent:
Pitch and melodic movement
Rising and falling sounds
Musical texture
Rhythm and patterns
Dynamics and mood
Using real test-style examples, we break down how to approach each question logically and calmly. Students are shown practical listening strategies that can be applied again and again in the exam.
“We first discovered Ashbea Music through their YouTube channel, which we’ve been watching for quite some time. The videos are some of the best we’ve come across, so when my son started lessons with Bea, he was honestly a little star struck 😊 after following the channel for so long!
He now attends the Music Aptitude group lessons every Sunday, uses the Music Aptitude Maestros App, and has also completed the Texture Masterclass course. The support and guidance Bea provides are outstanding she’s always ready to answer questions, offer advice, and encourage her students every step. It’s clear she genuinely cares and wants each student to succeed.
Bea’s passion for music is amazing. From what I’ve seen of the online lessons, she comes across as warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable.
We are so grateful to have found Ashbea Music and highly recommend Bea to anyone looking for engaging, supportive, and fun music learning!”

“Bea has been my daughter's music and piano teacher for almost three years. In addition to her talent as a musician, she has the ability to motivate her students and organise her curriculum so that the student acquires knowledge at their own pace and in the way they learn best. Her enthusiasm, her gift for teaching, her patience with children and her ability to know when to challenge and when to offer the student space to create their own music is extraordinary. This past year she also prepared my daughter for the Watford Grammar (SWH Consortium) 11+ Music Aptitude Test (both the Listening and Performance tests) and after a lot of work and effort between my daughter and her, the result has been great - my daughter got 42 out of 45 points. I also recommend her classes because she is always there for us, always professional and kind. We love her!”
