Get additional grades with Rockschool’s Revised Band Exams
Rockschool’s unique Band Exams offer the opportunity for students to turn all those hours spent at band practice into accredited qualifications. Rockschool have now revised the exams bringing in a new repertoire from the acclaimed 2012 Syllabus. Head to their news section now to check out the Rockschool band performing Grade 5 piece ‘Geek’ and grab more details on how to enter.
Playing in a band is often a vital part of being involved in rock and pop. Rockschool’s Band Exams recognise that the most important aspect of playing together is being aware of the other musicians’ parts and how they work together. Now students can get accredited qualifications from learning together in a band as well as those earned individually from the Guitar, Bass and drum exam courses.
Rockschool’s 2012-2018 Syllabus is full of specially written pieces that students will love to play. Check out the Rockschool band playing ‘Geek’ on YouTube or Vimeo. The Rockschool Guitar, Bass and Drums Grade books all contain the same tracks at 3, 5 and 8 so band members can learn their parts individually before practising and performing the pieces as a group. These books are also great for Teachers. They can assess individual and band performances, use the books to drive school band practices during lunch hours or use the material when organising end of term concerts.
For the exams, groups can perform five pieces from the Rockschool grade books, or three pieces and two free choice pieces. Each band member will have the opportunity to improvise during the exam thus gaining even more real world skills through performance. Plus successful Grade 8 students will get 55 to 75 UCAS points.
Individual graded pieces for each instrument are now available to download as PDFs and audio files for £2.99 from musicroom.com or you can get the books. To find out more visit the Band Exams page on the Rockschool website www.rockschool.co.uk for more information.
