Modified on Wed, 22 May 2024 at 07:53 PM

Please refer to the relevant graded exam syllabus for requirements relating to accompaniment

and backing tracks:


Classical and Jazz exams

Rock and Pop exams


- Pieces which are published with accompaniment may not be performed unaccompanied


- The accompanist does not need to be in shot during the filming of the performance


- Candidates may use recorded accompaniments in place of a live accompanist or duet partner for

all digital grade exams at all grades


- If you are using a recorded accompaniment, this must be clearly audible on the submitted video.

Recorded accompaniments should be played through an external speaker rather than directly

from a phone or tablet.
