Technical Exercises Scales, Arpeggios, Chord Voicings & Technical Studies Technical Exercises In this section, you will be asked to play a selection of exercises drawn from each of the groups below. The examiner will be looking for the speed of your response and will also give credit for the level of your musicality. ■ Candidates must prepare both natural minor and harmonic minor scales ■ Major scales, minor scales, chromatic scales and arpeggios need to be played: – hands together – ascending and descending – either straight or swung feel (as directed by the examiner) – either legato or staccato articulation (as directed by the examiner) – across four octaves (except half-whole and whole half diminished scales, which must be played over two octaves, and extended arpeggios which are one octave only) ■ Groups A, B and C (scales, arpeggios and chords) need to be played from memory. You may use your book for Group D (technical studies) Note that Groups A and B need to be played to a click and any fingerings shown are suggestions only. Group A: Scales The tempo for this group is q =176 bpm. 1.
