Grade 6

At Grade 6, you can learn about pedalling and how to improvise a solo. You’ll perform three songs and build on your Grade 5 Session skills.

Choose your songs from our song list, including one of the Technical focus songs that develop particular skills. There’s an option for you to play your own cover version of a song or, if you’re a songwriter, one of your own songs.

You’ll find more information about how the exam works in the downloadable syllabus.
