The ABRSM is holding exams in the normal way for practical Grades and these can be attended as the lockdown restrictions no longer apply

On-line Exams Performance Grades from the ABRSM
These exams are new - brought in 2020 allow the student to perform the grade pieces + an extra piece in one recording session which is sent (securely on-line) to ABRSM examiners. Marks are awarded for the pieces on their own. The emphasis is on the performance given and hence the title of the exam awarded.
Different views of the teacher and instrument are available for the student to observe
Studio Camera
A link is sent each lesson via email to the student containing meeting id and password to link in on Zoom for the lesson.
This will admit the student to access the live lesson which is interactive with the teacher.
The student will be able to see the teacher demonstrating the instrument (different angle cameras are used to provide a good view of techniques shown to the student)

My you tube channel also has examples of me playing some pieces often requested to be learned by students - on different instruments
