MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE (Initial–Grade 5 only) This test encourages learners to understand the wider musical context of the songs they perform, as well as their knowledge of notation and the voice. The examiner will ask carefully graded questions based on the candidate’s chosen songs. Questions refer to the vocal line only. In the exam, candidates choose which song they would like to be asked about first. The examiner then chooses a second song for the remaining questions. Candidates’ musical scores should be free of annotations which might aid their responses. The examiner usually points to the relevant part of the score when asking questions. Candidates can use American terms (eighth note, half note, etc) as an alternative to English terms (quaver, minim, etc). The following table gives example questions and responses:
