Trinity Rock & Pop Grade 8
What Trinity Say
At Grade 8 you can develop a range of skills and techniques including legato, tapping, trills and extended soloing. In the exam you’ll play a set list of three songs and demonstrate your playback or improvising skills.
What Vin Says
The final countdown! Yes you're here - grade 8! If you're ready for this level, very well done, you should be pretty confident in your technical ability. Your musicality and ability to interpret what you hear should be something that comes naturally by now. Try to put your personal stamp on what you play, you'll sound better if you can add something rather than just copy.

Your Session Skills
Develop the skills professional musicians rely on in their careers, and learn how to play music you’ve never seen or heard before, or improvise over a track in the session skills part of your exam. You can choose which skill to demonstrate in your exam, here are your 2 options:
PLAYBACK
Candidates choosing this option perform some music they haven’t seen or heard before. The test consists of a series of short melodic phrases, which candidates repeat back in turn, over a backing track. See the syllabus for full requirements and graded parameters.
IMPROVISING
Candidates choosing this option improvise in a specified style over a recorded backing track that they haven’t seen or heard before. The backing track consists of a passage of music played in a loop.
