 Technical Exercises

Group A: Scales
The natural minor scale must be prepared as shown below. You may select any starting note from A–E. You will be asked
if you would like to sing along to a metronome click or hear four clicks before you start. Whichever option you choose,
you will hear your chosen starting note before the count starts. You may perform this test using any vocal sound except
humming or whistling. The tempo is q =80.

Group B: Arpeggios
In this group, both of the arpeggio exercises need to be prepared as shown below. You will be asked to perform one of them
in the exam, as chosen by the examiner.

This test is performed to a metronome click track and you may select any starting note from A–E. You will hear the root
note played on piano followed by a one-bar (three or four clicks) count-in. You may perform this test using any vocal sound
except humming or whistling. The tempo is q =80.

Improvisation & Interpretation

The examiner will give you a chord sequence in the key of A minor. You must improvise a melody over the backing track.
You will hear the backing track three times. The first and second time is for you to rehearse and the third time is for
you to perform the final version for the exam. Each playthrough will begin with the root note and a four-beat count-in.
The backing track is continuous throughout, so once the first playthrough has finished, the root note and count-in of the
second and third playthroughs will start immediately. The tempo is q =80–90.

You may perform this test using any vocal sound except humming or whistling.

q = 90 Rock
