During the first session of 2010 candidates may offer repertoire from the 20072009 syllabus.
When this syllabus is replaced there will be an overlap for the first session only of 2013, during which
candidates will be able to offer pieces from the 20102012 lists.
Full details of entry procedures, examination regulations and marking criteria are given in a separate
booklet Information & Regulations which is available direct from Trinitys Head Office, Centre
Representatives or from our website www.trinityguildhall.co.uk/music
Certificate examinations from 2009
Certificate examinations offer an alternative, performance-focused route of progression to the
graded examinations suite. They contain no technical work or supporting tests, and are available at
three levels:
Foundation (standard around Grade 3)
Intermediate (standard around Grade 5)
Advanced (standard around Grade 8)
For full details, including repertoire and guidelines, please visit the Trinity Guildhall website
www.trinityguildhall.co.uk/CertificateExams

Duration
Grade examinations
Structure
Trinity Guildhalls practical examination grades are numbered from 1 to 8 in increasing order of difficulty.
Pieces
Candidates play three pieces, chosen from the published lists.
Technical Work
All candidates play a Lip Flexibility Exercise, after which they may choose to play either Scales &
Arpeggios or Exercises.
Supporting tests
For brass examinations there are two further tests:
Up to and including Grade 5, candidates may choose any two tests from:
Aural
Sight Reading [including transposition for french horn from Grade 4 and trumpet from Grade 6]
Improvisation
Musical Knowledge
In Grades 6, 7 and 8, Test 1 must be Sight Reading. For Test 2 there is a choice between Aural and
Improvisation.
At the examination, candidates should note on the appointment slip which test(s) have been chosen.
Order of examination
Pieces will normally be asked before scales, with accompanied pieces first. Candidates wishing to present
their examination in any other order may do so, but must write their preferred sequence on the back of
the appointment slip and point it out to the examiner at the start of the examination. This choice does
not extend to cases where the syllabus stipulates the location of any item, e.g. Own Composition.

website www.trinityguildhall.co.uk
Grade examinations

Technical Work
The purpose of this section of the examination is to encourage the development of the necessary
technical skills for the performance of pieces. Candidates should aim for a full and rounded tone over
the whole range, with accurate playing at an appropriate and even pace. Higher marks are given for
attention to musical shaping, and the promptness and confidence of delivery.
The requirements for each grade are given in the main body of the syllabus.
All scales and arpeggios must be performed ascending and descending (unless otherwise stated). A
breath may be taken at the top of the scale/arpeggio at the candidates discretion.
Playing from memory
Scales and arpeggios must be performed from memory. The exercises may be played either from
memory or using the printed music. Candidates should note, however, that no extra marks will be
awarded for performing from memory in the examination.
Minor scales
Up to and including Grade 2, candidates may choose to play either harmonic or melodic or natural minor
scales. In Grades 3, 4 and 5 candidates have a choice of harmonic or melodic and in Grades 6, 7 and 8
both harmonic and melodic minors must be prepared.
Crabwise scales
The syllabus will give the starting note and the candidate should cover all twelve major keys by raising
the keynote by a semitone on the completion of each scale (e.g. one octave of G major ascending
followed by one octave of Ab major descending, followed by one octave of A major ascending, etc.).
Candidates may breathe wherever appropriate.
Tempi for scales and arpeggios
Scales and arpeggios should be prepared at a consistent speed within the tempo range specified
appropriate to the instrument.
Grade 1 = 4660
Grade 2 = 5066
Grade 3 = 5472
Grade 4 = 60104
Grade 5 = 66112
Grade 6 = 72120
Grade 7 = 80126
Grade 8 = 88132
Grade examinations
Ranges for scales and arpeggios (written pitch)
The ranges given encompass all treble clef technical work set. Pieces may occasionally include isolated
and manageable notes outside this range but the majority of music will remain comfortably within it.
Trombone ranges are similar, but may differ slightly. Bass clef ranges should be adjusted as appropriate.
Articulation for scales and arpeggios
The various articulation patterns for scales and arpeggios in this syllabus are given on the next page.
Scales, arpeggios and exercises for all brass instruments are published by Trinity Guildhall.
See page 156 for details.

Grade examinations
Pieces
Repeats, ornaments & tempi
All da capo and dal segno instructions should be observed. Repeats of more than a few bars should be
omitted unless otherwise instructed in the syllabus, or where a substantial first-time bar section would
be lost. Candidates should omit cadenzas in concerto movements played in graded examinations unless
instructed otherwise in the syllabus, but cadential trills and other ornamentation appropriate to the style
of the music are encouraged at all levels, and particularly in the higher grades. Metronome marks are
given merely as a guide to performance, and candidates should observe terms showing the tempo
and/or character of the music (e.g. Lento, Allegro) in their performance. Long introductions, tuttis and
endings should be sensibly truncated.
Accompanists and page-turners
Trinity Guildhall does not provide accompanists nor can the examiner act as an accompanist or page-
turner. Difficult page-turns should be overcome by photocopying the relevant pages. A page-turner
may assist the accompanist in Grades 68 examinations if absolutely necessary, but may remain in
the examination room only while (s)he is needed. Candidates may use a recording of the piano
accompaniment in examinations up to and including Grade 3. Recordings of accompaniments need not
be commercial products but must be of good CD quality and must not include the solo part; cassette
recordings are not acceptable. All examinations from Grade 4 upwards must use a live accompaniment.
Playing from memory
Candidates are free to play any or all of their pieces from memory, and to do so is likely to help with
the security of their knowledge and their ability to communicate. It is not obligatory, however, and no
separate marks are given for memorisation. Candidates who play from memory must ensure that an
original copy of the music performed is brought to the examination for the examiners reference.
Music and copies
It is strongly recommended that original copies of music needed for examinations are obtained before
an examination entry is made; allowances cannot be made for delays in obtaining music. Candidates may
use any reputable edition of the works listed in the syllabuses; publishers details are given mainly for
the purpose of identifying works and also as suggestions of suitable editions. Candidates should always
try to obtain reliable and authoritative editions of all music, but should note that variations in worldwide
availability may occasionally be encountered; candidates are advised always to check the contents of
books before purchase. Publishers contact details are given at the end of this syllabus.
Candidates must perform from published material in the examination room; photocopies of complete
pieces may not be used in examinations. If candidates or accompanists perform from photocopies
unauthorised by the publisher (other than short extracts to facilitate page-turning), no marks will be
awarded for that item.
Examiners of graded examinations welcome the provision of reference copies of pieces not published by
Trinity Guildhall. Photocopies can legitimately be used for this purpose; any copies provided will be
retained by the examiner and destroyed after the examination.
10
Grade examinations
Own Composition
Candidates may offer their own composition in place of a listed piece where indicated in the syllabus.
This must be performed as the last of their group of pieces so that the questions on the piece may
follow immediately afterwards.
Content
The composition should follow the specification given, and must be of a similar technical and artistic
level to the other pieces performed. A piano accompaniment may be included, but the use of pre-
recorded material or other instruments is not allowed. The piece should be substantially the candidates
unaided work, although the teacher may offer guidance as necessary. Candidates and teachers are
advised to take note of the Levels of Achievement statements in the current Information & Regulations
booklet when preparing own compositions. The timings given at each level should be observed carefully;
credit will be lost if compositions fall appreciably short of or exceed the indicated timespan.
Notation
The complete composition must be written out in the candidates own hand (or be produced and printed
by the candidate using a score-writing program). At Grades 15, the composition may be presented in
any coherent form of notation. For compositions at Grades 68 staff notation is essential. Marks will be
deducted if the notation is incomplete or technically inaccurate or if the performance varies significantly
from what is written. Candidates must present a (photo)copy of the piece, which the examiner will keep,
with name and candidate number clearly shown.
Assessment
After the performance, the examiner will ask the candidate to explain how the piece was composed
and will ask further questions about the notation and structure. Sixteen marks are awarded for the
performance and six for clarity of explanation, structure and presentation.
The specific requirements are listed below.
Composition requirements grade by grade:
Grade Duration Requirements
1 12 minutes A piece containing sudden dynamic contrast
2 12 minutes A piece contrasting legato and staccato passages
3 12 minutes A piece which starts quietly and simply, and builds
to a loud, grand climax
4 23 minutes A piece with long melodic phrases
5 23 minutes A piece containing many wide leaps
6 34 minutes A piece contrasting material in the high and low registers
7 34 minutes A piece featuring several different tuplets (within the
same pulse) e.g. duplets, triplets, etc.
8 45 minutes A piece featuring a variety of instrumental effects
e.g. glissandi, rapid tonguing, hand stopping, etc.
11
Grade examinations
Supporting Tests
Sight Reading
Sight Reading tests are set at the level of a piece prescribed approximately two grades lower than the
grade undertaken; for instance, Grade 5 candidates should be able to read at sight the level of piece set
for Grade 3 performance. Tests will follow the parameters given below. Note that the parameters are
cumulative; the keys etc. used at each grade may also include any variable set for any previous grade.
Candidates will be allowed 30 seconds to study the test before they attempt it. During this time they may
practise any or all of the piece aloud. The examiner will only take account of the actual performance of
the test.

In addition to the Sight Reading exercise, candidates taking French Horn Grades 48 and Trumpet
Grades 58 must also take a transposition test, in which they play a short piece simulating an orchestral
or band situation where the player is given a part for a differently pitched instrument. The candidate will
be given this exercise as an additional unprepared test, following on from the sight reading and with the
same 30 seconds of study time. All the original tests will be written in C major. The keys that the
candidate must transpose to are as follows:
At Grades 6 (French Horn only), 7 and 8, both extracts must be prepared. The examiner will select one
extract to hear first, and may then request the other.

Aural
Four tests are given for each grade (two for Grade 8), designed to develop the candidates abilities in the
fields of musical perception, discrimination, memory, understanding, analysis and response. The tests,
which are all based on the same example to encourage a deepening of knowledge, are carefully graded
from basic skills to more advanced understanding.
N.B. Tests for Initial and Grade 1 are all in major keys; Grades 25 and 8 may be in major or minor. Grade 6
tests are major and Grade 7 are minor. Tests involving printed copies given to candidates will be provided
in treble clef for most instruments, and in bass or alto clef for instruments normally reading those clefs.
Initial
1. To sing, hum or whistle the final note of a 4-bar melody in 2 time, played with the final
note omitted. The note should be sung in strict time. The key chord will be sounded before
the melody is played. In all circumstances this note will be the tonic.
2. To clap back the rhythm of the melody after hearing it played twice again.
3. To identify, after another hearing, whether the melody was played mainly legato or staccato.
4. To identify, after hearing again three consecutive notes from the melody, which of the three
was the highest or lowest.
Grade 1
1. i) To clap back the rhythm of a four bar melody in 2 or 3 time, played twice;
ii) to state the time signature.
2. To state, after hearing the melody again, whether the last note was higher, lower or the same as the
first note.
3. To state, after hearing the melody again, whether the melody was played mainly legato or staccato.
4. To listen to the melody played twice more, first as originally heard and then with a change to the
pitch at one point, and indicate where the change occurs. Candidates will not be required to describe
the change.
Grade 2
1. To listen once to a short melody in
2
or
3
and to indicate a sense of the pulse and time signature
during a second playing. Candidates should respond by either conducting clearly, using a simple,
conventional, beat-shape or alternatively by other methods, provided the strong beats are indicated
distinctly. The examiner will bring the candidate in at the start of the second playing.
2. To state, after hearing the melody again, whether the last note was higher, lower or the same as
the first note.
3. To listen to the complete melody again and to state,
i) whether it was in a major or minor key;
ii) the dynamic level at the start and how it changed during the piece. Crescendo and diminuendo
may be included.
4. To listen to one half of the melody played twice more, first as originally heard and then with a
change in the rhythm or melody, and to identify the type of change made.

during a second playing. Candidates should respond by either conducting clearly, using a simple,
conventional, beat-shape or alternatively by other methods, provided the strong beats are indicated
distinctly. The candidate may begin right at the start, or can join in once the melody is under way.
2. To identify the interval formed by the first two notes of the melody, played from low to high and held
as a sounding interval as a major second, minor third, major third, perfect fourth or perfect fifth.
(All diatonic, from within the key.) Candidates may sing (or hum) the notes before answering.
3. To identify a triad played by the examiner as being either major or minor. The notes will be
sounded together.
4. A printed copy of the melody will be handed to the candidate. The examiner will then play the
original followed by a version (played twice) containing one change of pitch or rhythm. The
candidate will be invited to indicate the bar in which the change occurred in the rhythm or melody.
Grade 4
1. To listen once to a short melody in 4 or 6 with a simple accompaniment and to indicate a sense
of the pulse and time signature during a second playing. Candidates should respond by either
conducting clearly, using a simple, conventional, beat-shape or alternatively by other methods,
provided the strong beats are indicated distinctly.
2. To identify the interval formed by the first two notes of the melody, played consecutively, as:
a unison a perfect fourth
a minor second a perfect fifth
a major second a minor sixth
a minor third a major sixth
a major third
Candidates may sing or hum the notes before answering.
3. To listen to the piece again and to identify the cadence at the end as being either perfect
or imperfect.
4. A printed copy of the melody line only will be handed to the candidate. The examiner will then
play this, followed by a version (played twice) containing two changes, one of pitch and one of
rhythm. The candidate will be invited to indicate the bars in which the changes occurred and to
describe them.
Grade 5
1. To listen twice to a short piece of music in 2, 3 or 6 played twice, and state:
i) the time signature;
ii) if it began in the major or minor;
iii) if the tonality changed as the piece progressed, and if so, how.
After a further playing of the closing section of the piece, whether the cadence at the end was
perfect, imperfect or interrupted.

Grade examinations
2. To identify the interval formed by two notes selected by the examiner from the melody line, played
consecutively, as:
a unison a perfect fifth
a minor second a minor sixth
a major second a major sixth
a minor third a minor seventh
a major third a major seventh
a perfect fourth an octave
Candidates may sing or hum the notes before answering.
3. To listen to the piece again and to comment on the articulation and the dynamics.
4. A printed copy of the complete piece will be handed to the candidate. The piece will be played
once more as originally heard and then twice with two changes to the top line; one to the
rhythm and one to the melody. The candidate will be asked to locate and describe the changes.
Grade 6
1. To listen to a short piece in a major key in 2, 3, 4 or 6 played twice, and state the time
signature. Candidates will be invited to comment on the main features of the piece such as
phrasing, style and dynamics. The candidate will have the opportunity to give comments after
the first and/or second playing at their discretion.
2. To listen to the closing bars of the piece and identify its cadence as perfect, imperfect, plagal
or interrupted.
3. To listen again to a part of the piece which modulates and state into which key the music has
modulated. Keys used will be confined to dominant, subdominant and relative minor. The opening
key will be stated and the tonic chord played before the start. Answers may be given as either key
or technical names (e.g. in C major: to G or to the dominant).
4. A printed copy of the piece will be handed to the candidate, who will be invited to compare this with
a version played twice by the examiner containing two changes. These will be in the melody line
only and may be to the rhythm, the pitch or the articulation. The candidate should identify the
location and nature of the changes.
Grade 7
1. To listen twice to a short piece in a minor key and comment on the main features of the piece such
as style, phrasing, articulation and dynamics. The candidate will have the opportunity to give
comments after the first and/or second playing at their discretion.
2. To listen to a phrase from the piece and identify its cadence as perfect, imperfect, plagal
or interrupted.
3. A printed copy of the first section of the piece will be handed to the candidate, who will be invited
to compare this with a version played twice by the examiner containing three changes. These may
be in the pitch (of the melody line only) or the rhythm. The candidate should identify and explain
the changes.
4. To listen to the piece played with a modified ending and identify the key to which the music has
modulated. The opening key will be stated and the key-chord played. Keys used will be limited to the
sub-dominant minor, the relative major and the dominant of the relative major (e.g. G major in A
minor). Answers may be given as key names or technical names. Part of the piece may be omitted
by the examiner for clarity if appropriate.
17
Grade examinations
Grade 8
1. A short piece will be played twice. The candidate will be invited to describe the significant features
of the piece, such as style, rhythm, texture, dynamics, phrasing and articulation. Candidates are
encouraged to make observations after the first playing and to supplement these after the second.
This section will take the form of a short discussion with the examiner; credit will be given for the
depth of perception in the candidates comments.
2. A printed copy of the entire piece will be handed to the candidate and played by the examiner, who
will then play twice a version containing three changes which may be in the rhythm, melody, harmony,
articulation, dynamics or tempo. The candidate will be invited to identify and explain the changes.
Changes may occur in the treble or bass clef lines, or both. The original version, as supplied to the
candidate, will be played again, before the version with the changes.
N.B. In all sections of the Aural Tests that involve the examiner handing the candidate a printed copy
of the test, candidates and teachers should note that the copy will be a laminated page, which
may not be marked by the candidate in any way whatsoever during the examination.

Grade examinations
Improvisation
The improvisation tests explore the candidates ability to respond creatively to an aural/visual stimulus
offered by the examiner, usually as a rhythmic or melodic cell. The tasks undertaken develop from simple
recognition, assimilation and invention to modulation, extension and other techniques.
In every case the stimulus has been designed to allow a genuinely free creative improvisation and to
avoid the implication of a mirror image response. At all grades the stimuli seek to provide a wide range
of improvisatory possibilities, whilst avoiding excessive complication within themselves. The greatest
credit will be given for candidates who most effectively incorporate elements of the stimulus into their
improvisation, showing creativity and good instrumental knowledge and ability.
Outline and Test Parameters
According to the candidates choice, the examiner will tap the rhythm or play the pitches or chords on
the piano, and will also give a notated copy of the relevant test to the candidate which the candidate can
refer to throughout the test. In this way both auditory and visual learners will be assisted to produce
their best possible response.
Format
Candidates may select any one of the following types of test:
either melodic: based on a series of pitches
or rhythmic: based on a rhythmic idea
or chordal: based on a set of chord symbols.
The parameters are given in the chart overleaf.
Melodic Tests
The examiner will give the candidate a copy of a series of written pitches and will play it through twice
with each pitch lasting for about 2 seconds. The candidate will play the pitches back to the examiner, and
then has 30 seconds to prepare a short phrase incorporating these pitches, which is then performed.
The candidate may play during the preparation time.
Rhythmic Tests
The examiner will give the candidate a written version of an opening rhythm and then play it twice.
Candidates will then repeat it on their instrument using one pitch. They then have 30 seconds to develop
a piece of music based on this rhythm and then adding melodic material as appropriate. Instrumental
range used should reflect the parameters for melodic tests in the chart overleaf.
Chordal Tests
The examiner will give the candidate a copy of a 2-stave piano score containing chords written out
without a time signature (with bar lines) and chord symbols printed above each chord. The examiner will
play this through twice, establishing a moderate pulse with each chord played as 4 crotchets per bar (or
2 crotchets where more than one chord appears in a bar). The candidate then has 30 seconds (60
seconds for Grades 6 to 8) in which to prepare a short improvisation over the given chords. Candidates
can choose to use the tempo and time signature that the examiner played, or to request a quicker or
slower tempo and a 3, 4 or compound feel if they prefer.
The examiner will then play the chords as before, while the candidate improvises above them. The
phrase may be repeated several times, depending on length and speed, until the improvisation reaches
a natural conclusion.

Written Keys for Chordal Tests
Notes
Marks are awarded for planning, structure, form, melodic, harmonic & rhythmic creativity, inventiveness
and logical progression, appropriate length and use of instrumental resources.
Candidates should regard the note values and ranges given as the minimum that will be expected, but
may extend these if they wish.
The length of the response in the chart overleaf is given as a guide only, and the candidate should aim to
perform a musically satisfying and balanced response.

Musical Knowledge (Initial to Grade 5 only)
These questions test the candidates understanding of their chosen pieces, the context of their
performance and their knowledge of their instrument and its technical demands, including best practice
for rehearsal and performance.
Five questions, each worth 2 marks, will normally be asked. Questions will include discussions on most of
the areas mentioned below, but not all parameters will be relevant to all disciplines and pieces, and
examiners will select questions as appropriate. Candidates must ensure that copies are not so heavily
annotated that a reasonable range of questions for the grade is precluded.
For melody line instrumentalists, questions will be based only on the instrumental line, and not on the
accompaniment.
It is the intention that candidates demonstrate their knowledge by reference to the printed score, rather
than by reproducing previously prepared answers. If annotations to the printed score are so extensive as
to preclude a reasonable range of questions, the report may be referred to Head Office for review or the
examiner may award no marks for the section.
Initial
1. The pitch names, and durations of any notes (excluding those with leger lines except middle C) in the
pieces played.
2. To identify, but not to explain clefs, stave, bar lines and key/time signatures in the pieces played.
3. Very simple musical terms and signs in the pieces, such as
-
, repeat,
f
and
p
.
4. Questions about the connection between the titles of the pieces and the music played (e.g. what is a
Minuet? Why is this piece called Squabble?)
Grade 1
1. Pitch names, note types (e.g. minim) and durations of any notes in the pieces played, including dotted
notes and any leger lines.
2. Clefs, time/key signatures and any common musical term/sign encountered.
3. Identify and explain p/f, accidentals, phrase marks, 1st & 2nd time bars and staccato/legato, when
appearing in the pieces played.
4. Comment on any significant, interesting or unusual features of piece(s) played. Show a basic
understanding of the instrument, including the names of its main parts (e.g. mouthpiece, tuning slide,
etc.) and maintenance.
Grade 2
As for Grade 1, and additionally:
1. Show an understanding of any term, sign or mark of expression in the pieces played.
2. Identify and explain any metronome marks, grace notes, ornaments, etc. appearing in the pieces played.
22
Grade examinations
3. The numerical value (only) of any interval (within an octave) between any two successive notes
appearing in the pieces played. (e.g. a second not a minor second). Intervals may be asked from a
lower to a higher note or vice versa.
4. Be aware of appropriate basic posture when playing.
Grade 3
As for previous grades, and additionally:
1. Identify and demonstrate an understanding of the keys, (together with their relative major/minor), in
which the pieces played are written.

or vice versa.
4. Comment on any particular technical or musical challenges encountered in the preparation of the
pieces played.
Grade 5
As for previous grades, and additionally:
1. Comment on any significant features of the musical style and period, (e.g. Baroque, Romantic) of the
pieces played.
2. Point out any interesting or noteworthy structural/formal aspects of the pieces played.
3. Show an understanding of the keys used in the pieces played, including an understanding of
modulations and a knowledge of tonic, dominant and subdominant of the keys in which the pieces

Grade examinations
Instruments
Trumpet/Cornet/Flugel Horn
Candidates must enter for an examination in either Trumpet (subject code TPT) or Cornet (subject code
COR) or Flugel Horn (subject code FLG). This must be clearly marked on the entry form. From Grade 3
onwards, candidates may offer up to one piece on another instrument as appropriate e.g. cornet,
flugel horn or piccolo trumpet in a Trumpet examination but technical work and all supporting tests
must be performed on the instrument for which the entry was made.
Euphonium/Baritone
The euphonium/baritone syllabus is designed for players reading either treble or bass clef. Scales may
be presented in either clef. Pieces may be in either clef transposed if necessary. Where repertoire is not
published in the appropriate clef, a manuscript transposition may be used. The pianist should play from
the published original.
Trombone
The trombone syllabus is designed for players reading either treble or bass clef. Scales may be
presented in either clef. Pieces may be in either clef transposed if necessary. Where repertoire is not
published in the appropriate clef, a manuscript transposition may be used. The pianist should play from
the published original.
Bass Trombone
The bass trombone syllabus is designed for players with a single trigger instrument at Grades 6 and 7,
but at Grade 8 much of the repertoire and technical work may include low B naturals.
Tuba/Eb Bass/Bb Bass
The tuba syllabus is designed for Eb tuba players, reading in either treble or bass clef. All the pieces up
to Grade 5 should be accessible on a three valve instrument. From Grade 6, players without a 4th valve
will find the choice of repertoire more limited.
Scales may be presented in either clef. Pieces may be in either clef, or transposed if necessary. Where
repertoire is not published in the appropriate clef, a manuscript transposition may be used. Either the
pianist or the soloist should play from the published original.
Bb bass players may use the same repertoire, transposing either solo or piano parts as necessary, or
repertoire may be selected from the euphonium syllabus. They should follow the Eb tuba treble clef
scale lists.
Players on F and C tubas may transpose either solo or piano parts as appropriate. Either the pianist or
soloist should play from the published original. Scale requirements for F, C and Bb tubas reading in bass
clef are downloadable from the website www.trinityguildhall.co.uk
Tuning
Examiners should not be expected to tune or adjust instruments for candidates. Up to and including
Grade 5 the teacher or accompanist may assist with tuning. From Grade 6 onwards, candidates are
expected to tune or adjust their instrument without assistance.
