Musical Knowledge (Initial-Grade 5 Only) : About The Exam
The examiner will first ask candidates to choose their favourite piece from the ones performed in the
exam and will then ask some of the questions on that piece. The examiner will then choose one of the
other pieces performed to complete the questions.
The printed score should be free of annotations except for essential markings such as fingerings,
breath marks etc as appropriate. The examiner will usually point to part of the score when
asking the questions.
Sample questions and answers are included in the table below. Where English note values are
specified (eg quaver, minim), American terms may alternatively be used (eg eighth note, half note).
