4. Key Features of Each Grade:

   • Preliminary Grade:
     • Develop fundamental skills such as pitch, rhythm, controlled playing, and tone quality.
     • The exam includes tunes/exercises, a set piece or song, and an own-choice piece (approximately 16 to 24 bars). Simple aural tests are also part of this grade.
   • Grades 1 to 8:
     • Candidates select three pieces from the syllabus lists (Lists A, B, and C), showcasing their versatility across different styles.
     • Scales, broken chords, sight-reading, and aural tests complete the exam.
     • Total marks in practical exams amount to 150. Passing requires 100 marks, while 120 earns a merit and 130 secures a distinction.

5. Balancing Exams and Musical Growth:

   • While exams are important, remember that they’re just one aspect of your musical education.
   • At the London School of Art, we prioritize building strong musical foundations. Rushing through exams isn’t our approach; we focus on holistic development.
