The Initial Grade, Grade 1 and Grade 2 piano syllabus (2021-2023) from Trinity each feature a choice of 12 pieces in the core repertoire book (including one duet) and a further nine additional pieces. Unlike other boards, the selection is not grouped into lists, giving the learners freedom in choosing three pieces. There is scope for the candidate to focus on a style or genre of music, or to explore a broad range of diverse material. Ranging from the Renaissance style of Praetorius to the contemporary work of Ben Crosland, for the most part each syllabus appears to offer a consistent level of technical challenges. These three grades represent a delightful collection of repertoires which will capture the imagination of early pianists. There is something here for everyone! Liz Giannopoulos, European Piano Teachers Association, August 2020 ...when it comes to syllabus design that supports educational and musical excellence, it now seems to me that TCL have delivered the new number one choice, a syllabus that ticks every box. Welcome to the new Gold Standard . Andrew Eales, pianodao.com, August 2020 The exceptionally wide-ranging, new piano syllabus launched by Trinity last week goes out of its way to provide maximum flexibility and opportunity for candidates to flourish. The two-list format is quite different from ABRSM, and even though numerous pieces in both boards interchange and connect from grade to grade, the current Trinity list prioritises flexibility and freedom of choice to an exceptional extent. The sheer number of choices on offer is staggering, and though past syllabus material is present, the fact that candidates themselves have not known the music previously means that they are presented throughout the whole selection with an extremely diverse and contrasted range. Murray McLachlan, European Piano Teachers Association, August 2020
