Trinity Piano Sample Booklet 2018–2020

Trinity’s Piano syllabusOur 2018–2020 Piano syllabus has performance at its heart. It offers the choice and flexibility to allow pianists to play to their strengths, enabling them to gain recognition for their own unique skills as performers.

The music you want to play Learners can progress in their own musical style by choosing from lists of pieces carefully selected by our piano experts, including specially commissioned pieces by contemporary composers.

The performer you want to be Our performance-grounded technical work and supporting tests are specifically designed to develop learners’ skills through the music they play.

The support you need Digital learner and teacher support resources are available at trinitycollege.com/piano-support. Join us via our website and social media for the full music experience and to find out when new resources are available.

The recognition you deserve Learners are assessed through an externally regulated and internationally recognised exam system, with a 140-year heritage you can trust.

New to the 2018–2020 syllabus ◗ New performance pieces at all levels, encompassing a wide range of musical styles

◗ New technical work exercises at all levels, covering key areas of technique

◗ Duets may now be selected up to and including Grade 3, enabling learners to develop important ensemble skills

◗ At lower grades, pieces can be freely chosen from the lists, with repertoire now only divided into groups at Grades 6–8, giving learners greater scope to demonstrate their individual musical identity

◗ Revised own composition, aural and improvisation requirements

◗ New graded repertoire books, with an engaging selection of pieces as well as specially composed exercises

Syllabus overlap arrangementsThe 2018–2020 syllabus is valid from 1 January 2018. The 2015–2017 syllabus will remain valid until 31 December 2018, giving a one year overlap. During this time, candidates may present pieces and technical work from the 2015–2017 or the 2018–2020 syllabus, but not both. Candidates should indicate which syllabus they are presenting on the appointment form handed to the examiner at the start of the exam.

Recognition and UCAS pointsTrinity College London is an international exam board regulated by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) in England, CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland and by Qualifications Wales. Various arrangements are in place with governmental education authorities worldwide.

About the examEach exam has three components: pieces, technical work and supporting tests. There are slightly different requirements depending on the level of the exam.

PIECES (66 MARKS)

Choose three pieces, each worth 22 marks.

TECHNICAL WORK (14 MARKS)

Scales, arpeggios and exercises.

SUPPORTING TESTS (20 MARKS)

A combination of sight reading, aural, improvisation and musical knowledge — depending on grade and candidate choice.

PiecesCandidates can demonstrate their individual musical identity by choosing three pieces from brand-new repertoire lists:

INITIAL–GRADE 5

Three pieces are chosen from the lists. The candidate can play an own composition in place of one of the listed pieces. At Initial to Grade 3, one of the pieces may be a duet.

GRADES 6–8

Pieces are divided into two groups: group A and group B. At least one piece must be chosen from each group. The third piece may be chosen from either group or may be the candidate’s own composition.

Technical workThis section of the exam supports the development of technical skills and musical ability by assessing candidates’ performance in a range of technical work options.

SCALES & ARPEGGIOS

An important part of developing technical focus, strength and agility, and harmonic and melodic skills

Candidates prepare the scales and arpeggios set for the grade, and play a selection as requested by the examiner.

EXERCISES

Designed to demonstrate three key areas of technique in performance: tone, balance and voicing; co-ordination; and finger and wrist strength and flexibility

Candidates prepare three exercises from the graded list, two of which are played in the exam. One is chosen by the candidate and one by the examiner.

Trinity Piano Sample Booklet 2018–2020Trinity Piano Sample Booklet 2018–2020

Supporting testsAt Initial to Grade 5, candidates choose two supporting tests from sight reading, aural, improvisation and musical knowledge. At Grades 6–8 candidates are assessed in sight reading, and choose either aural or improvisation for their second supporting test.

This flexibility is designed to allow candidates to demonstrate their musical skills in different ways, while recognising that sight reading is an important skill at higher grades.

SIGHT READING

Our sight reading pieces are designed to be musically intuitive and natural, preparing candidates for performance contexts

Candidates perform a previously unseen musical extract, at a level approximately two grades lower than the exam being taken.

AURAL

Supports the development of candidates’ abilities in musical perception and understanding

At most grades, candidates are asked to describe various features of the music played at the piano by the examiner such as dynamics, articulation, texture and style. Candidates are not required to sing.

IMPROVISATION

Develops creative musicianship skills that unlock a variety of musical styles and technical ability

This test assesses candidates’ ability to improvise fluently, coherently and creatively in response to a musical stimulus, which can be stylistic, motivic or harmonic at the candidate’s choice.

MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE

Encourages learners to understand the wider musical context of the pieces they play, as well as to develop their knowledge of notation and their instrument

The examiner asks carefully graded questions based on the candidate’s chosen pieces.

Trinity Piano Sample Booklet 2018–2020Trinity Piano Sample Booklet 2018–2020

Contributors Trinity works with a range of contributors when creating new syllabuses and accompanying books and audio. The 2018–2020 repertoire books feature specially commissioned, previously unpublished pieces by contemporary composers Gareth Balch, Kay Charlton, Sam Cleaver, Christine Donkin, David Earl, Ray Moore and Robert Ramskill.

A panel of experts makes sure that all chosen pieces match the criteria and are engaging and varied. For this syllabus the panel was led by Peter Wild.

Peter Wild studied at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester and subsequently at the Royal Academy of Music, London. He is currently Trinity’s lead senior examiner, having spent 14 years examining for us. Much of his time is spent in the field of education — he is in demand as a teacher and consultant in piano pedagogy — and he collaborates with other musicians in chamber music performances and as an accompanist.

Peter is also one of the pianists we worked with to produce the accompanying recordings. The other pianists we worked with, all of whom are eminent musicians with distinctive performing careers, are Yulia Chaplina, Linda Nottingham and Pamela Lidiard.

Yulia Chaplina gave her debut performance aged seven, performing Bach’s Keyboard Concerto in F minor with the Rostov State Symphony Orchestra. Since then, she has performed extensively all over the world, including as a soloist at the Berlin Philharmonie, and she has won first prize in piano competitions in Poland, France, Andorra, Ukraine and Russia. She has received awards from the Menuhin and Hindemith Foundations in Germany and the Mstislav Rostropovitch Foundation in Russia. Yulia was a Mills Williams Junior Fellow at the Royal College of Music in 2012/2013.

After gaining a BA in Music at Lancaster University, Linda Nottingham studied with Jan Panenka at the Prague Academy of Musical Arts. Her playing includes solo recitals, chamber music and working with singers, which is very close to her heart. She sang with the London Symphony Chorus for many years and leads the vocal group London Madrigalists. French and Czech music are of special interest to her and she also coaches Czech language to soloists and choirs. Linda has many years of experience in teaching adults and children and is an examiner for Trinity.

Pamela Lidiard is deputy head of keyboard studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. As well as teaching and coaching pianists and singers, she co-ordinates the postgraduate course for accompanists. She is a past editor of the EPTA UK magazine Piano Professional, and has been involved with Trinity’s piano exams for several years in various roles.

Pamela is one of the authors of Trinity’s Teaching Notes, as is Graham Fitch:

Graham Fitch has an international career not only as a pianist, but also as a teacher, adjudicator and writer. He has been appointed to the piano staff at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and runs private teaching studios in London. As well as being principal tutor on The Piano Teachers’ Course EPTA UK, and giving workshops across the UK, Graham is a regular contributor to Pianist Magazine, and is the author of the popular blog practisingthepiano.com

Certificate and theory examsTrinity’s certificate exams provide an alternative to graded music exams, focusing solely on performance. Structured as a mini-recital, the candidate is given the choice and flexibility to put together a programme from a wide repertoire list and can include own-choice pieces and their own compositions. Certificate exams are available at Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced levels. Visit trinitycollege.com/certificates for full details.

Theory exams are available from Grade 1 to support learners to develop their understanding of the technical language of music. However, no theory qualifications or other prerequisites are required to enter graded or certificate exams at any level. Find more information about theory exams at trinitycollege.com/theory
