The shop’s exam music finder offers teachers and students a quick and easy way to select the sheet music they require for LCM exams. After selecting an instrumental syllabus and grade, exam lists are displayed with publications available for each piece. Full details of each publication are given, and the chosen items can then be simply added to the shop basket for secure purchase.
As well as LCM and RGT handbooks and publications, music on exam lists from all other publishers is available via the LCM shop, so everything can be ordered online in a single visit. In addition to the sterling cost, estimated price conversions are displayed in 12 international currencies. Customers can select standard or courier shipment to all global destinations and full customer service support is provided by phone or email.
Professor John Howard, Director of LCM Exams said: “This is an excellent development, making our publications and other related exam repertoire much more easily available to all. We are delighted to be involved in such an innovative project.”
David Allenby of Boosey & Hawkes said: “We are delighted to partner London College of Music and the University of West London to create their new online shop and exam music finder. Since 2004 our retail operations have been focused online, and since 2010 we have offered tailored ecommerce solutions to third party organisations that share our passion for classical and educational music. The UK examination sector is a world leader and our provision of online music shops helps organisations expand and supply exam music to teachers and students internationally.”
