New Scale Requirements
Similar-motion scales stay the same at all grades, except for Grade 2 where E major is deleted and B minor is replaced by G minor, and Grade 6 where there are fewer staccato scales. The current progression of arpeggios and broken chords at the early stages has been adjusted very slightly so broken chords occur at each of the first two grades, with arpeggios now being introduced at Grade 2. This encourages a flexibility of hand position at the early stages and provides a logical and progressive approach to the learning of the extensions to the five-finger position. At Grade 2 there is a reduction of arpeggio requirements to counterbalance the incorporation of broken chords, and the keys have been carefully distributed between arpeggios and broken chords so that no key is covered by both.
Some small changes have been made at Grades 3 and 4, but the important and longstanding benchmark of all major and minor keys being covered by Grade 5 has been retained. The range of the arpeggios at this grade has been increased to three octaves to match the similar-motion scale range, as in all other grades. Some minor adjustments have been made to the higher grades, but the only significant addition is a single whole-tone scale at Grade 8.
New Sight-Reading Tests
The new sight-reading tests are in attractive and recognizable styles and will not present greater challenges than the current materials. The step between the first three grades has been ironed out so that at Grade 2 the tests are with hands together, but staying within a five-finger position. At the lower grades the tests will be shorter to allow candidates to focus more on the musical details and achieve greater musical results in the exam. At Grades 1 and 2, for example, all the tests will be only four to six bars long. Titles have been added from Grade 6 so that they appear as real pieces of music. This will also help candidates get a feeling for the mood and style of the music.
For Further InformationMore details will be published in the May 2008 edition of Libretto and the complete list of syllabus requirements will be published in July 2008. The first exams using the new requirements will be from January 2009.
