For many children, the Texture section is by far the most difficult part of the Music Aptitude Test.
This course was created specifically to tackle that problem.
What Is Texture?
In the test, texture questions ask children to identify how many notes are being played at the same time.
This skill is rarely taught during standard music lessons, which is why so many students struggle with it.

“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!”
Oli Walker – Alfred’s Mum
“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!”
