◗ Duets introduced at Initial to Grade 3 for violin, viola, cello and double bass
◗ New graded repertoire books for violin, featuring a varied selection of accompanied and unaccompanied pieces and duets
◗ Increased flexibility of repertoire choice, with pieces divided into groups at Grades 6–8 only
◗ Violin candidates can perform a piece/set listed for Scottish traditional fiddle at the same grade
◗ A new orchestral extracts option at Grades 6–8 for pedal harp
Trinity’s new and innovative syllabus approach
From now onwards, Trinity’s Strings syllabuses will no longer operate with an end date. All pieces will remain valid until further notice and any planned updates will be announced at least 12 months in advance. Trinity will continue to increase the repertoire available to candidates through a continual programme of new publication releases. This will include a diverse range of exciting exam books, individual digital downloads, ebooks, anthologies and more. Most repertoire and technical pieces will remain indefinitely*. You will find information about new publication releases on the instrument webpages and the shop. This innovative change in approach to our music exam syllabuses will make our exams open to more people, provide rich and ever-increasing repertoire to choose from, and encourage candidates to continue playing the music they love for as long as they wish.
