2021 & 2022 Syllabus

Click here for an index of resources for the 2021 & 2022 syllabus.

This series contains resources and further links to other resources featuring the ABRSM syllabi (until 2020) and is designed for elementary level players, young musicians and their teachers. Some articles in this series will provide a step-by-step (or phrase-by-phrase) approach to learning a piece thoroughly and securely, building a solid foundation for performance in an exam or if you are playing a piece simply for pleasure. Other articles will offer practice exercises to help solve technical problems or tricky passages, or will provide introductory material designed to be practised before you approach the piece in the exam book. The series will also be covering other topics such as scales and arpeggios with general tips and practice worksheets for each grade.
