New Brass syllabus from Trinity College London
Trinity College London’s Brass Syllabus 2019-2022 is now available. It includes refreshed performance repertoire at all levels, covering a wide range of styles and genres – from orchestral to jazz to brass band – and features a number of specially commissioned pieces by contemporary composers. For selected instruments, Initial exams and the option to choose duets at Initial to Grade 3 are now also available. The syllabus is available to download at trinitycollege.com/brass now.
The syllabus is supported, for the first time, by a series of trumpet, cornet & flugelhorn exam repertoire books available for Initial to Grade 8. The books are accompanied by free downloadable recordings of all the pieces, played by eminent trumpet player Andrew Crowley, as well as piano playalongs. See attachment for more details.
Francesca Christmas, Head of Academic Governance for Music at Trinity College London, said “Our graded Brass exams put performance first, and give learners the opportunity to gain recognition for their own unique skills as musicians. The new syllabus has been carefully designed to encourage learners to develop and demonstrate skills that are specific to their brass instrument, while the wide variety of pieces in our refreshed repertoire lists allows teachers and learners to explore the range of styles available to brass players. What’s more, we’re now giving teachers and learners extra support and advice on areas such as exam structure, repertoire, and brass styles and technique through the provision of a host of digital support materials including videos, articles, and printouts”.
