Jazz Trombone

About LCME Jazz Trombone Exams

There are eight LCME Jazz Trombone grades, plus two introductory levels, four performance diplomas and three teaching diplomas.

The standard graded exams consist of a performance of three pieces, technical work, musical awareness, a creative response test and aural tests.

We also provide alternatives to our standard examination format designed to offer something different to our diverse range of candidates:

  • Recital – an exam entirely or predominantly performance-based
  • Leisure Play – a performance of four pieces, with an optional own-choice piece
  • Performance Award – a performance-based assessment by video submission

Syllabus Validity

Please note that the 2016 syllabus and repertoire list have been extended until further notice.
