ABRSM Singing Practice Partner

Great idea, but only a small number of pieces available for each grade, which is disappointing and not very helpful. I don’t want my kids using YouTube to find accompaniments, which might not even be accurate to begin with… so, please can you add the full list of accompaniments for each grade? A sung version would be very welcome too, but all the accompaniments be a great start. Thank you!

Downloaded the app but now it would only allow me pay for 1 song. No way of contacting the team for help either. Tried the contact us on the app but won’t let me submit my query

Have downloaded the app, selected the grade - but can I purchase any of the songs I need? Or any of the other songs? No. So not really any point to it as it currently stands……..

In principle this app was exactly what I was looking for - just one catch - only 12 songs can be purchased for Grade 2 and these were none of the songs I needed. Why? I have no idea. It’s shocking that ABRSM provides no access to actual “Audio” material for an audio based art form - instead leaning on material in “symbolic” ie. word and sheet music form. Very poor accessibility ! Is it too much to ask for a sound track of someone singing a syllabus piece ? Feels like teaching 191 has been skipped here.

Thought the music accompaniment would be free when you buy the book like Rock School, but no! Very poor show. As a parent we will stick to music recorded in the online music lesson in future. For the cost of the songbook plus you could surely be providing some free online recordings accessed by password etc. I expect much better from you!

I am on IOS 13.6 and it kicks me off every time I go to get more pieces. a shame, I think the idea is great. also does not work on ios 14.0.1 on my daughters phone.

The app downloaded fine but then crashes the second I try to select a song. Ridiculous.

Unable to download any more music since icon upgrade. No response to emails. Disappointed

First of all the app doesn’t work on my Apple device. I was expecting the backing tracks to come with the book purchase as many other grade organisations provide the tracks when you purchase the book. However, this is not the case with ABRSM. You are expected to purchase the book then make a further purchase for the backing track in order to rehearse and finally a fee for your grade entry. As someone who puts children and young adults through their grades each year I feel it is a lot to ask from the parents of the children I teach and will consider changing grade organisations.

Our signing teacher recommend this app.I download it but can’t use it. When I try to get more pieces it kicks me off, when I trying change grade it kick me off program.So all I can use one song grade 3.Hopefully it’s can be sorted I need this app!🙈
