Trinity’s new and innovative syllabus approach
From now onwards, Trinity’s Drum kit & Percussion syllabuses will no longer operate with an end date. All pieces will remain valid until further notice and any planned updates will be announced at least 12 months in advance. Trinity will continue to increase the repertoire available to candidates through a continual programme of new publication releases. This will include a diverse range of exciting exam books, individual digital downloads, ebooks, anthologies and more. Most repertoire and technical pieces will remain indefinitely*. You will find information about new publication releases on the instrument webpages and the shop. This innovative change in approach to our music exam syllabuses will make our exams open to more people, provide rich and ever-increasing repertoire to choose from, and encourage candidates to continue playing the music they love for as long as they wish.
