The Brass Syllabus focuses on the enjoyment of performing, whilst maintaining a formal Technical Work section for each instrument. The performance of a Study and three pieces in baroque/classical, romantic and modern periods from the standard repertoire completes the programme. Preparatory Levels 1 and 2 require two pieces only (own choice) plus Technical Work.
ICME also offers the Trumpet Concerto Syllabus, in three grade levels - Early, Intermediate and Advanced. This syllabus requires a movement or movements of a concerto and may be played with either orchestral or piano accompaniment. It especially suits the dedicated student who responds well to a challenge.
The Brass Syllabus is an excellent preparation for specialist music school scholarships and provides sound foundations for students considering tertiary music study.
