== General Info ==
1. Candidates must provide their own sticks, which should be suitable for the repertoire being performed. 
2. Damping dusters may be used if appropriate for the drum or the music. 
3. At least one accompanied piece must be performed. Pieces that are published with an accompaniment may not be performed unaccompanied. 

== Pieces / Studies ==
Candidates can express their musical identity by choosing pieces and studies from our varied repertoire lists. Drum kit candidates choose two pieces with backing tracks and one unaccompanied piece, from a wide range of authentic styles including jazz, funk, show tunes, film, TV, Latin, reggae and swing. Percussionists choose from a varied selection of tuned percussion, timpani and snare drum pieces with accompanied and unaccompanied options. Candidates can further personalize their program by including an own composition.

== Technical Works ==
This section of the exam supports the development of technical skills by assessing candidates’ performance in a range of technical work requirements. Drum kit candidates play specially-composed exercises focusing on the new rudiments introduced for the grade. A range of instrument-specific technical work features in our percussion exams, including exercises, scales & arpeggios, orchestral figures and orchestral extracts. 
=== About the Test ===
Candidates prepare '''both''' sections. All requirements are in [[Percussion Exam Pieces & Studies Snare Drum Book 1: Grades 1-5]].
1. Orchestral Figures 
2. Multiple Bounce Roll Study 

== Sight reading ==
This test assesses candidates’ ability to perform a previously unseen musical extract, at a level approximately two grades lower than the exam being taken.
===About the Test===
After 30 seconds’ preparation time, candidates perform a previously unseen musical extract at a level lower than the exam being taken. Candidates choose whether to perform the test on [[keyboard percussion]], [[snare drum]] or [[timpani]].

=== Supporting Publications ===
For practice purposes, sample Sight-reading tests are published by [[Trinity College London Press]] in [[Graded Percussion Sight-Reading, Grades 1-8]]. Purchasing the book is not a requirement.

== Aural ==
This test supports the development of candidates’ abilities in musical perception and understanding by requiring them to recognize musical features by ear (for example meter and pulse, pitch, performance characteristics). All questions are based on a single musical example played at the piano by the examiner. Candidates are asked to describe various features of the music such as dynamics, articulation, texture and style. Candidates are not required to sing. 
1. Listen to the melody twice times, clap the pulse on the second playing and stressing the strong beat 
2. Listen to the melody once, identify the tonality as major or minor 
3. Listen to the first two notes of the melody once and identify the interval by number only (2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th) 
4. Study a copy of the melody and listen to it once as written and once with a change of rhythm or pitch. 

== Improvisation ==
This test assesses candidates’ ability to improvise fluently, coherently and creatively in response to a musical stimulus.
=== Rhythmic stimulus ===
Candidates are given a notated rhythmic stimulus, which the examiner plays twice. The examiner then invites the candidate to play it back to ensure that they have understood it.
Candidates are then given time to study the test before they perform it, during which they may prepare their response aloud. 30 seconds' preparation time is given.

== Musical Knowledge ==
This test encourages learners to understand the wider musical context of the pieces they play, as well as their knowledge of notation and their instrument. Examiners ask carefully graded questions based on candidates’ chosen pieces. Questions refer to the solo line only, and not the accompaniment. In the exam, candidates choose which piece they would like to be asked about first. Examiners then choose a second piece for the remaining questions. Candidates’ musical scores should be free of annotations which might aid their responses. Examiners usually point to the relevant part of the score when asking questions. Candidates can use American terms (eighth note, half note, etc) as an alternative to English terms (quaver, minim, etc).
