 Technical Exercises

In this section, you will be asked to play a selection of exercises, chosen by the examiner, from each of the groups below.

All exercises need to be played in straight feel, in the keys, octaves and tempos shown. You may use your book during the
exam for all groups.

Groups A and B (power chords only during Group B) need to be played to a click. The examiner will play the click at the
given tempo, and you should begin to play after four clicks. The remaining chords in group B are played without a click, as
directed by the examiner.

Group C is played to a backing track.

Group A: Scales
The tempo for this group is q = 70 bpm.

 Ear Tests

There are two Ear Tests in this grade. The examiner will play each test to you twice. You will find one example of each type
of test printed below.

Test 1: Melodic Recall

The examiner will play you three notes in sequence. You will identify whether the notes are higher or lower (up or down) in
sequence. You will hear the test twice.

Each time the test is played it is preceded by a one bar vocal count-in. The tempo is q = 85.

q = 85

Candidate may answer either: “higher/lower” or “up/down”.

Test 2: Rhythmic Recall

The examiner will play you a two bar rhythm played to a drum backing on the lowest-sounding E string. You will hear
the test twice. You will be asked to play the rhythm back. You will then be asked to identify the rhythm from two printed
examples shown to you.

Each time the test is played it is preceded by a one bar count-in. There will be a short gap for you to practise. Next you will
hear a vocal count-in and you will then play the rhythm to the drum backing. The tempo is q = 90.

q = 90
