Trinity Guildhall Strings Syllabus 2010-2012

This syllabus contains full details of Grade examinations in Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass and Harp (pedal and non-pedal).

Violinists and Violists can now enjoy an exciting new repertoire, with brand new repertoire books for Initial to Grade 8 Violin.

All new CD recordings for Violin Initial to Grade 8, including playalong tracks, provide a valuable and inspiring aid to exam preparation. They feature established performers and teachers including violinists Andrew Haveron, leader of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Liz Partridge and Marianne Olyver.

Examination candidates play three pieces chosen from the published list(s). All candidates for Bowed Strings exams must perform a Bowing Exercise , after which they may choose to play either Scales, Arpeggios & Technical Exercises or Studies/Orchestral Excerpts.

Scales, Arpeggios and Studies from 2007 for all string instruments, and Technical Development for Harpists are available from your local music shop or from our online store.

Sample keyboard musicianship tests, examined as part of the technical work for Grades 6-8 for Harpists, are also available to download.

There is a one session overlap arrangement between the current and the new syllabus and during the first session of 2010 candidates may offer repertoire from the 2007–2009 syllabus however, all technical work and supporting tests must be taken from the new syllabus.

The new syllabus for Strings (Bowed Strings & Harp) supercedes all previously published repertoire lists. The syllabus has also been broken down by instrument into smaller components to aid download times and should be viewed in conjunction with Information and Regulations 2009.
