Correspondence Courses

Robert Page is a firm believer that all music students should gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of music through the study of musical theory and history.

He is able to offer a variety of correspondence courses to residents of the United Kingdom, in all grades of theory, as well as other academic courses tailor-made to individual requirements.

There is a separate correspondence course for each grade of theory. Each of the courses covering grades 1-5 consists of between 11 and 15 units of work. Each unit requires the student to complete two or three worksheets and send them by post to Robert Page for marking, assessment and further helpful advice if needed. Along with the worksheets, the student will be sent fact sheets containing all the necessary study material. The fact sheets are kept by the student, and gradually build up to an invaluable reference.

Courses covering grades 6-8 continue in a similar manner, except that students will need to obtain their own study material as specified by Robert.

The fee for each course (see below) is payable when the first completed unit of work is sent for marking. Thus, the student is able to see the first unit before making a final decision whether or not to enrol on the course. After completing a basic course, any student wishing to take the graded examination set by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) is recommended to undertake a supplementary course consisting of one or two sample examination papers (or more if required). Robert Page is then able to enter students for the ABRSM examinations if they so wish.
(The fee shown in the final column of the table below includes both the entry fee and a small administration charge.)
