Music Performance Exam Syllabuses – Your Guide to Requirements & Repertoire

Modified on Mon, 7 Jul at 12:46 PM

This page provides quick access to Trinity College London’s music syllabuses and supporting materials across all instrument categories. Use the links below to find syllabus PDFs, repertoire lists, and publication downloads for graded exams, diplomas, and certificate qualifications. Always refer to the syllabus as the primary source for exam requirements, as music books may not cover all components of your selected exam.


Trinity’s Classical and Jazz Graded exam syllabuses no longer have fixed end dates. Most repertoire and technical pieces remain valid indefinitely (subject to copyright and territory), with any planned changes announced at least 12 months in advance. New material is added through ongoing publication releases, making our exams more flexible and accessible while allowing candidates to continue performing the music they enjoy.
