Inspiring repertoire is at the heart of Trinity’s new syllabus, which features works from the Renaissance to the present day and has been created in consultation with leading classical guitar specialists. It includes more repertoire by female composers, and expands the alternative piece lists to include options from Trinity's own Raise the Bar and pieces published for the first time in the Trinity Performance Edition series.
At Initial–Grade 5, repertoire can now be chosen from a single list, allowing full flexibility of choice, and the popular Duet option has now been extended all the way up to Grade 5.
At all grades, candidates may perform their own composition as an alternative to one of their three pieces, using the suggested features given in the syllabus.
