At Grade 7, you can learn about time signature changes and plaything the left-hand boogie. You’ll perform three songs and build on your Grade 6 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.
The Grade 7 Keyboards songbook includes everything you need for the exam – sheet music for six songs, performance tips, technical support and guidance on Session skills, together with a CD of demo and backing tracks.
Improvising in the style of the song
Players choose Improvising or Playback.
You’ll perform some music you haven’t seen or heard before – you can sight-read from a song chart or play by ear from an audio track, or both.
You’ll be given a song chart with chord symbols and song style and will improvise over a backing track.
Songs: Bat Out Of Hell Meatloaf, Changes David Bowie, Great Balls Of Fire Jerry Lee Lewis, I Belong To You Muse, Music John Miles, Such A Night Dr John
