You may use any of the following pieces in your programme for Standard Grade or Higher Music.

You may include other pieces in your programme, as long as you can provide sheet music that can be played at the piano (i.e. not TAB).

Standard Grade

To achieve a Credit Grade, you must play at least 12 chords in total.

To achieve a General Grade, you must play at least 9 chords.

To achieve a Foundation Grade, you must play at least 6 chords.

You should practise a range of strumming patterns to make your programme as interesting as possible. You should also try to learn at least one piece that uses a “finger-picking” style.

Higher

You must play at least 18 chords, some of which must be “barré” chords.

You must include at least one “finger-picking” style in your programme.
