ABRSM Cello Scales Grade 2 "Random Scale Bag" Printable, 2016-19
When you do your exam, the examiner will ask you to play some of your scales and arpeggios. They won't be in the same order as they are in your scale book and you will have to play them from memory. To help you with this, here is the Random Scale Bag.
Download the pdf, print out on to card and cut it up!
Please check your scale book for full information.

This guide is for anyone involved with ABRSM’s graded music exams – especially teachers, candidates and parents. It introduces
the various elements of our exams for instruments and singing, guides you through the exam experience and explains what makes
ABRSM exams special.
Speed Shifter

Speedshifter can be used to slow down the playback speed of most common compatible audio file types. It's available for iOS, Android, PC and Mac.
You can use this to slow down recordings of your pieces so you can play along, or just so that you can listen and follow the music.
Aural Trainer
http://gb.abrsm.org/en/exam-support/practice-tools-and-applications/aural-trainer/
Quite a few of my students already use this app. It really helps with your aural tests (the clapping, singing and listening exercises), and means we can just use lesson time to work on the bits you're finding particularly tricky.
