The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Scotland’s national conservatoire, is the
only institution in the world offering a BA (Honours) in Scottish Music. It also offers graded exams
and unmarked performance assessments in traditional Scottish music that anyone can participate in,
from school-age pupils to adult learners. The RCS currently offers exams and assessments in
fiddle, accordion and Scottish harp. Sessions take place in Glasgow in spring and autumn, but
schools can request special visits by an examiner at any time. Syllabuses, repertoires and entry
guidelines can be viewed on their website: http://gradedexams.rcs.ac.uk.
The Practical
and Aural Musicianship, Quick Study, Fiddle, Accordion and Harp repertoire can now be downloaded
from this site. Sound files to help you choose your repertoire are included until live recordings are
made.
The Harp, Fiddle and Accordion printed music book collections Grades 1-5 are
now available - purchase them from us at http://www.scotlandsmusic.com/graded-
exams.html.
