All students of ABRSM Grade 4 and above are expected to play in Studios. Students are required to prepare THREE pieces: ONE for Tuesday (Renaissance & Baroque), ONE for Wednesday (Classical & Romantic) and ONE for Friday (Modern & Contemporary). Choose a tutor to reveal the repertoire list or session information for the Studios.
N.B. These lists are a guide only. It is acceptable to bring repertoire to Studios of a similar standard, as long as it conforms to the daily theme. Some pieces appear on multiple lists, due to the requirements of different examination boards. The ARCO and FRCO lists are shorter than ABRSM lists, and students are encouraged to explore more widely as they prepare for these classes. Publisher details are given where known, using the following key:
B = Bärenreiter; Ba = Banks; Br = Breitkopf; C = Carus; Cr = Cramer; D = Durand; Do = Dover; F = Faber; H = Harmonia; L = Lyrebird; Le = Leduc; Lo = L’Oiseau-Lyre; N = Novello; O = OUP; P = Peters; S = Schott; SB = Stainer & Bell; U = Universal
