Electronic Keyboard and Digital Keyboard exams will continue to use the Trinity books of repertoire and CD. The Sound at Sight sight reading book for Electronic Keyboard Initial–Grade 5 remains valid. Sample sight reading for Digital Keyboard Grades 6–8 is available to download as a PDF from the panel on the right. Alternative repertoire has been drawn partly from the existing syllabuses of both boards and partly selected from newer publications. Technical work also remains unchanged from the previous Trinity exams. Candidates may choose to use single or fully fingered chords at their discretion. |
Electronic Organ These exams follow closely the previous Trinity pattern, with the repertoire published in the 3 Guildhall repertoire books added to that available in Organ World, as well as many other separately published works.
