Improvisation & Interpretation
The examiner will give you a chord sequence in the key of either D major, Bb major, E minor or D minor. You must improvise a melody over the backing track. At this grade, there is also an element of sight reading, consisting of a two-bar section featuring lyrics, at the beginning of the test. You will be given 30 seconds to practise, after which the examiner will play the backing track twice. The first time is for you to rehearse and the second time is for you to perform the final version for the exam. The backing track will begin with a root note and a four-beat count-in on both playthroughs. The backing track is continuous, so once the first playthrough has finished, the root note and count-in of the second playthrough will start immediately. The tempo is =90–100. q During the practice time, you will be given the choice of a metronome click throughout or a count-in of four beats at the beginning. Whichever option you choose, the practice time will start with the examiner playing the root note.
