Performance is at the heart of Trinity’s Rock & Pop exams — whether self-taught or taking lessons, learning for fun or heading for a career in the music industry, these exams help musicians develop valuable playing skills and achieve their musical ambitions.
You can access everything you need to prepare for the performance part of the exam in our new graded songbooks. Our Rock & Pop books are available for Initial to Grade 8 and each includes eight songs with performance hints and tips. There’s also useful background information so you can explore the story behind, and techniques used in, the songs.
Rock & Pop Vocals exams help you learn key singing skills and techniques including widening your range, decorating and breathing, while performing the songs you love. Song lists include music from Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Weller, and Roberta Flack.
The exams are supported by a range of resources that provide essential support for learners:
- graded songbooks containing all the songs needed for the exam, and performance tips and background information on the songs
- demo and backing tracks for the songs in the books, as downloads or on CD
