Examination pathway
How preparation works
Graded syllabus training
Lessons follow the relevant graded syllabus so preparation is aligned from day one.
Practical preparation
Repertoire, technical work, scales and studies rehearsed to examination standard.
Theory preparation
Written theory support alongside practical work, at the level each grade requires.
Performance development
Mock exams, studio run-throughs and stage experience to build calm confidence.
Grade progression
A clear ladder from Initial to Grade 8
Teachers recommend an entry grade after assessment, then plan repertoire, technical work, aural and sight reading over the term leading to the examination window.
