RSL Classical Classical grades for the modern musician

RSL Classical is the newest addition to graded music exams, with syllabuses in classical piano, violin and guitar. Expand your skills with music which sought to break boundaries, work written for Film, TV, Games and Jazz, and music simply written to challenge the technical player.

Promoting instrument mastery

The pieces included in each publication expose students to an array of styles and instrument-specific techniques, contributing to improved musicianship. Technical exercises and rudiments will reinforce the fundamental skills required in mastering any instrument, with sight-reading and improvisation training contributing to increased musical know-how.

Outstanding repertoire for the modern musician

Each grade features a collection of benchmarked classical tracks and popular music professionally arranged for the instrument. Diverse and engaging, including greater representation of female composers and composers from the global majority, our repertoire will challenge and inspire students as they develop their instrument technique.

The international language of music

All our qualifications have been designed with industry relevance, student engagement, and academic rigour in mind. Upon completion of an RSL Classical grade, every candidate will have earned a globally recognised qualification, which has been designed to support progression routes towards higher education and the creative industries.
