How to plan your programme
You can choose your repertoire from our extensive repertoire lists, select your own pieces or have a mix of the two. Any programme including own choice items, or single movements from items listed complete in the repertoire lists, must be approved by Trinity as a complete programme before you can enter for the exam. We are unable to consider submissions of individual pieces. If your programme is all taken from the diploma repertoire lists then you won’t need approval. Repertoire listed in any current Trinity grade, certificate or lower diploma cannot be selected as own-choice repertoire. For full information, please refer to the Exam guidance: Recital section of the Music Performance Diplomas syllabus. You can find advice on how to create your own programme in the syllabus.
