Trombone, Bass Trombone and Euphonium
The technical work requirements for the Trombone Syllabus (Preliminary to Grade 8), Bass Trombone Syllabus (Grade 5 to Grade 8) and Euphonium Syllabus (Preliminary to Grade 8) have been revised, culminating in the release of a new technical work book: Trombone & Euphonium Technical work & Orchestral excerpts (2020), which also contains a selection of orchestral excerpts suitable for fulfilling the List D Orchestral Excerpts requirement in Grades 5 to 8. The revised Trombone and Euphonium syllabuses also introduce one new examination, Preliminary, at the beginning of the syllabus, with Manual Lists from which to select repertoire for examination.

Alternative syllabuses in 2021 and 2022

The revised Trombone, Bass Trombone, Euphonium and Tuba syllabuses will be examined concurrently with the version of these syllabuses that last appeared in the 2020 Manual of syllabuses for two years after the release of the revised syllabuses. From the start of 2023 the previous Trombone, Bass Trombone and Euphonium syllabuses will no longer be available for examination.
