relevant for learning piano and Rock & Pop keyboards.
Explore varied repertoire
Discover pieces across a variety of styles and genres — including popular classics,
show tunes, film themes, jazz, folk and world music — and help your students develop
technique through performing a wide range of music.
Benefit from a range of support

Sample pieces — About the pieces

Initial: TRAD. / Michael Row the Boat
This traditional spiritual song gives players the opportunity to present a personal arrangement, with
candidates able to choose voices and rhythms, add dynamics, and even vary rhythm and harmony to
produce a creative response. This enables them to explore the features of their instrument, reflecting
real-life performance scenarios in which players are presented with a lead sheet.
“Own interpretation pieces offer the student a great place to develop their creative skills and add their
own ideas to a piece. It’s fun here to extend the right-hand rhythm, adding extra notes from the chords
and passing notes from the scale of C major, to develop an exciting melody!” Peter Buckby

Grade 2: HANDEL / Sarabande (from Suite in D Minor, HWV 437)

Handel popularised the dance form of the Sarabande in the Baroque period, and today many film and TV
adaptations exist of the piece. This arrangement features woodwind and brass voices over the repeating
harmonic sequence, and keyboard functions such as fill-in and voice changes. It also includes more complex
right-hand writing, including counterpoint and 3-part chords. This builds on the simpler 2-part chords used in
earlier grades, enabling the player to produce fuller right-hand textures, as well as simple counter-melodies.
“This piece covers both legato playing and requires practice of scalic runs with a consistent fingering
to achieve a good performance of the middle section. Though written in time it should be played
over a style.” Peter Buckby

Grade 4: JOPLIN / Weeping Willow Rag

Originating in America, ragtime is characterised by its jaunty rhythms and whimsical mood. Scott Joplin, a
pioneer of the form, wrote more than 40 original ragtime pieces, such as ‘Entertainer’ and ‘Maple Leaf Rag’,
which share the same style and character. Written in the two-step march style, ‘Weeping Willow Rag’ features
melodic syncopation across barlines, changing harmonies and key changes. While this arrangement assigns
the left-hand stride pattern to the keyboard auto-accompaniment, the right hand needs to manoeuvre shifts
between chord positions, and handle increased finger independence and a greater range of articulations.
“There are some speedy chord changes in this arrangement — you will need to consider chord voicing
carefully and practise moving from chord to chord swiftly and smoothly. This piece also has syncopated
rhythms just prior to a chord change — make sure you work on co-ordination, keeping your hands
independent, to achieve the correct harmonic rhythm.” Peter Buckby

Grade 6: MORTON / King Porter Stomp

“Jelly Roll” Morton was an early jazz musician who combined classical, ragtime and blues with Caribbean
influences. Written only two years after ‘Weeping Willow Rag’, ‘King Porter Stomp’ came to define
the emerging swing style and quickly became a foundation of every big band’s repertoire, with many
interpretations being recorded over the decades. Morton himself considered the piano as less of a solo
instrumental voice and more like an orchestra. Accordingly, this arrangement exploits a variety of jazz voices
including vibraphone, jazz flute, and big band brass. Keyboard functions include dual voice and pitch bend
to produce a soundscape with fuller colour and authenticity, and multiple accompaniment variations which
provide rhythmic energy and variation at this fast, bebop tempo.
“Multiple registrations are required, together with control of those registrations through a pedal so as not
to disrupt the flow of the piece. Techniques can differ from instrument to instrument so it is important to
understand the features of your keyboard well.” Peter Buckby

Trinity Electronic Keyboard Sample Booklet 2019–2022

Sample exercises & scales — About the exercises & scales

Initial: Bossa Boy — keyboard functions
This short exercise includes use of both Intro and Ending, and application of a single dynamic change from
mp  to f. As with all pieces and exercises, care should also be taken to ensure the accompaniment volume is
set so the melody can be heard clearly.

Grade 2: Game Over! — pianistic

This fun miniature piece includes pianistic elements such as bass clef reading, slurring, and simple
chromaticism.

Grade 3: Keyboard exercise

This keyboard exercise comprises a scale in the right hand, accompanied by chords in the left hand. It is
played with piano voice and auto-accompaniment off, so fully fingered chords must be used. It supports
the development of knowledge of the most common chords, together with other relevant performance
and technical skills such as bass clef reading, finger dexterity and a sense of pulse. Candidates may select
the key used for the exercise from those offered for scales & chord knowledge at the grade — A major and
G harmonic minor being available at Grade 3.

Grade 4: Tango Turn — scalic

This exercise is evocative of the tango style with its melancholic mood and distinctive rhythm. It contrasts
scalic passages with short arpeggios, building on the exercises at lower grades with changes in scale
direction, modulation of key and specific articulation directions.

Grade 4: Ab Lydian — modal scales

The contemporary electronic keyboard player is constantly looking for new sounds and ways to develop
language in accompaniments, improvisations and compositions. Exploration of the modes through the
grades can open a new palette of sounds across a breadth of musical styles. Commonly used in a major
setting to provide added lift, the Lydian scale sounds particularly effective over major 7th chords.

Grade 7: Spanish Melody — sequencing

In this exercise the candidate pre-records the strings and bass lines before the exam and plays only the
piano and flute voices as a live performance. Examiners assess the performance of the live part, including
synchronisation with the sequenced part. The candidate needs to carefully balance the different parts in
order to create an expressive musical performance.
