We have added more songs from recently-released shows and rediscovered

favourites.

•

Newly added songs are marked with in the syllabus and can be performed in

exams from January 2023.

No overlap applies to this syllabus update, as we have only added content and

not removed any songs. Occasional changes to publication details or other minor

corrections will be posted at www.abrsm.org/syllabuscorrections.

Some updates have been made to the text to further clarify existing requirements and

information.

Please also refer to the overarching Qualiﬁcation Speciﬁcation: Music Performance

Grades document, which contains other important and relevant information for those

preparing for Performance Grades.

From 8 March 2023, Performance Grade candidates should provide their programme

information online when uploading their video. It is no longer necessary to show a

written programme form to camera. All other recording requirements remain the

same [Section 3: Preparing for the Exam].

Diversity

ABRSM is committed to creating greater diversity, equality and inclusion in the

ﬁeld of music and we are actively working to achieve this across key areas of our

operations, including the content of our syllabuses.

Musical Theatre has a long history, enriched by the range and depth of its composers

and arrangers, characters, performers, cultures, intentions and themes. This complex

nature currently makes it extremely dicult to properly represent a broad historical

sweep of the genre without including pieces which may contain outdated attitudes

and cultural stereotypes.

We are working to reduce the signiﬁcance of all such pieces within the syllabus.

In the meantime, we draw attention to the nature of the contents of some pieces

featured here – not simply as a warning to customers but so that we can learn from

them too.

We will continue raising awareness of such issues as we make progress on our

broader diversity commitments.

3. Performance Grades Syllabus

Introducing the qualification

Performance Grades, introduced by ABRSM in 2020, run alongside and provide an alternative

pathway to our long-standing Practical Grades. They allow learners to focus on and showcase their

performance skills if that is their preference. This suite of qualiﬁcations has been designed to allow

learners to play to their strengths and interests and still have their level of achievement formally

recognised with a regulated qualiﬁcation that attracts UCAS points (in the UK) at Grades 6 to

8. Performance Grades are accessible exams given their sole focus on performance, without the

assessment of any supporting tests. Instead they encourage the selection of appropriate repertoire

to be delivered in a sustained performance, even at the earliest levels.

Musicians learn to sing, explore and perform repertoire, which is why songs, and the way they can

be combined to create a convincing and sustained performance, are the focus of the exam. For

Performance Grades, candidates are asked to present four songs at each grade.

ABRSM Performance Grades draw on the same repertoire set for our Practical Grades. This syllabus

repertoire is organised into lists, which explore dierent characters and styles of music, with songs

from shows dating from the 1920s to the present day. Choosing repertoire from dierent lists gives

candidates the opportunity to perform a balanced selection and demonstrate a range of skills.

Since Performance Grades focus on performance alone, the choice of repertoire is important, and

attention should be given to the way songs are contrasted, the order in which they are presented, and

the dierent moods and characters they inhabit. This will enable candidates to demonstrate their

ability to deliver a coherent and convincing performance event, not just a series of individual songs.

Credit for this is given through the performance as a whole assessment criteria that are applied.

Performance Grades: requirements and information

The syllabus repertoire is valid from 1 January 2023 until further notice.

This section provides a summary of the most important points that teachers and candidates need

to know when taking ABRSM Performance Grades in Singing for Musical Theatre. Further details,

as well as administrative information about the exams, are given in ABRSM’s Exam Regulations

(available at www.abrsm.org/examregulations) which should be read before making an exam

booking.

Performance as a whole

Performance skills are at the heart of Performance Grades, and go beyond the preparation of

individual songs. Designing programmes that play to learners’ strengths as performers, and then

delivering them with a real sense of musical intent and communication, is central to musical

development. This also builds stamina, and embeds the technical control required to sing a whole

programme through, including managing the transitions from one song to another. Finding ways to

put across the mood and character, and really get inside the style of dierent types of repertoire,

as well as arranging songs into coherent and compelling programmes will in turn increase learners’

knowledge and understanding of music more broadly.

For full details of how the performance as a whole component of the exam is assessed, see Section 4

of the Qualiﬁcation Speciﬁcation: Music Performance Grades.

ABRSM Singing for Musical Theatre | 3. Performance Grades Syllabus | Last updated 31/07/2023 4

Selecting repertoire

Number of songs: Candidates present four accompanied songs in one continuous performance.

They choose at least one song from each of the three lists (A, B and C). The fourth song at all grades

can be from the repertoire lists or an accompanied song of the candidate’s choice. The songs can

be performed in any order. See further programming requirements within this ‘Selecting repertoire’

section before ﬁnalising choices.

Own-choice song: The following options and restrictions apply to the own-choice song selection:

•

The song must be accompanied and be in a musical-theatre style.

•

The song should be broadly the same standard, or above, as repertoire set for the grade being

taken (prior approval from ABRSM is not needed, and can’t be given).

•

The song may be chosen from any of the repertoire lists set for the grade, as long as all other

requirements within this ‘Selecting repertoire’ section are also met, including the minimum

duration. Performing all four songs from the lists gives no advantage.

•

The song may be a candidate’s own composition or arrangement (see ‘Own composition’).

•

The song must exist in a legible and fully-notated score using standard music notation (e.g. not in

tab) and must be performed as notated in that score.

In cases where there is a concern about the standard of an own-choice song presented, ABRSM

reserves the right to request a copy from the Applicant where we cannot readily access one

ourselves. This may delay the issuing of the exam result.

•

The song must not last less than the following timings for each grade (unless the overall

programme time would be exceeded; see ‘Programme times’):

Grade

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Minimum duration (mm:ss) 00:25 00:30 00:35 00:45 01:00 01:30 02:00 03:00

The duration for each grade is the minimum time required in order to demonstrate the breadth

and depth of skills required, including stamina.

The other programming requirements described in this ‘Selecting repertoire’ section must also be

met.

Programme times: The overall performance, including transitions between songs and the inclusion

of one longer break if taken (see ‘Break’), should not exceed the maximum programme time set for

the grade, as shown in the following table. The programme time is the duration from the ﬁrst note

of the performance to the last. The examiner may stop listening to the recording if the candidate’s

performance goes over the maximum programme time.

Grade

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Maximum programme time

(minutes)

6 7 8 10 12 15 20 25

Break: Candidates may take one break during their performance if they wish. The break must not

exceed the time allowed for the grade as shown in the following table. The exam recording must not

be paused or stopped during the break.

Grades

1 to 5 6 to 8

Maximum break time

(minutes)

1 2

Accompaniment: An accompaniment is required for all songs. Candidates provide their own

accompaniment, which may be live or recorded. The teacher may accompany, but candidates may

not accompany themselves (unless using a pre-recorded accompaniment). Live accompaniment

must be on the piano. An accompanist may use a page-turner (prior permission is not required;

the turner may be the teacher). If necessary, an accompanist may simplify any part of the

ABRSM Singing for Musical Theatre | 3. Performance Grades Syllabus | Last updated 31/07/2023 5

accompaniment, as long as the result is musical. Lengthy instrumental/piano solos should not be

included unless speciﬁed in the syllabus.

Recorded accompaniments may be commercially-available tracks or recordings made specially for

the candidate’s exam. The accompaniment can feature any instrument or group of instruments, or

can be synthesised. If the solo part begins on the ﬁrst beat of the bar, a short introduction or count-in

may be added, in keeping with the song. All recordings must:

•

be of good quality

•

not change the diculty of the piece

•

match any syllabus requirements, such as repeats or cuts

•

be of the accompaniment only and not include the vocal part unless it is in the published edition

Full guidance on the use of recorded accompaniments in exams is available at www.abrsm.org/

performancegrades.

Composers: Up to two songs by the same composer may be performed.

Own composition: ABRSM welcomes the inclusion of candidates’ own compositions, or

arrangements, to be performed as their own-choice song. We will not judge or provide feedback on

the structure or quality of the composition, only the performance of it. However, as with any other

own-choice song, the technical demand of the composition must be broadly the same as repertoire

set for the grade being taken.

Languages: Songs may be sung in their original language or in a singing translation in any other

language.

Keys: At Grades 1 to 7 all songs may be sung by any voice and in any key. At Grade 8 all songs may

be sung by any voice, and in a key up to one tone higher or lower than any of the keys in the listed

editions for a song only; this applies even if singing from a dierent published edition. Own-choice

songs at all grades may be sung by any voice and in any key. Many songs are available published in

dierent keys, and candidates/teachers may make their own transpositions. The key of each song

should be chosen carefully to ensure it is appropriate for the candidate’s voice.

For guidance, the syllabus shows the published keys and vocal ranges for all songs (except for songs

that are in more than one key, in which case only the vocal range is shown). Keys, where applicable,

are shown for all editions of songs listed. The vocal range is shown for the ﬁrst-listed edition only

(unless there are slight variants in range between editions).

The vocal ranges are presented according to the following scheme:

C2 B2 C3 B3 C4 B4 C5 B5 C6

Repertoire lists: There is a broad range of songs set on the syllabus, to suit dierent voices and to

appeal to candidates of dierent ages and backgrounds. Not every song will be suitable for every

candidate because of vocal range, content (themes, lyrics) or the wider context (historical, cultural,

subject matter of the show). We advise that songs are chosen carefully for their appropriateness to

each individual, which may require consultation between teachers and parents/carers. A parental

guidance symbol ( ) is shown in the repertoire list where the content and/or context of the song or

musical may have some mature themes.

The repertoire lists are the same as for ABRSM Practical Grades. Candidates intending on taking

both qualiﬁcations at the same grade may ﬁnd their musical development beneﬁts from preparing

dierent songs for each.

Exam music & editions: Candidates may use any edition of their choice; this includes editions

that are downloaded. Editions have been listed for guidance only. Many of the songs are available

in a large number of collections and editions. Information on sourcing exam music is given on

page6.

Lyrics: All songs may be sung by singers of any gender, and candidates may change pronouns and

gender-speciﬁc words. Some songs include parts for dierent characters in which case candidates

ABRSM Singing for Musical Theatre | 3. Performance Grades Syllabus | Last updated 31/07/2023 6

should sing them straight through as a solo, unless we have speciﬁed a particular part in the lists.

Candidates are welcome to adjust lyrics to make a multi-character song work as a solo or to avoid

oensive words.

Verses & repeats: Songs must be performed complete, including standard repeats and DS/DC

markings, with the following exceptions:

•

where the repertoire list speciﬁes ‘without repeats’ (this applies to standard repeats) or ‘without

DS/DC’. (If there are dierent lyrics, candidates can choose which lyric to sing.)

•

where the repertoire list speciﬁes cuts or other instructions.

•

where there is a standard repeat mark (including ﬁrst-time bars) indicated in the score but words

and music are exactly the same, in which case the repeat need not be sung.

Where cuts are indicated in the syllabus, they are speciﬁed to make songs suitable for exam

purposes. A suitably adjusted piano introduction, ending or bridging passage may be needed.

Candidates may, however, choose to include repeats, extra verses or sections that would be cut

following the syllabus instructions as long as the maximum programme time is not exceeded (see

‘Programme times’).

Preparing for the exam

Programme form & pre-performance procedures: Candidates should provide their programme

information online when uploading their video. The song information required should be given in the

order the songs will be performed.

Candidates should show the opening of their own-choice song and announce themselves and their

songs before beginning their performance. Candidates taking a Grade 6, 7 or 8 must additionally

show a form of photographic identiﬁcation to the camera. This is because these qualiﬁcations can

be used either as a prerequisite for higher grades and diplomas, or as part of a university application.

If preferred, a Responsible Adult present may show the music to camera (but not the ID, where

applicable) and make the introductory announcement, as this does not form part of the performance.

The assessment of the performance begins on the ﬁrst note of music played/sung.

More information on all of the above is given in the Guidance for Music Performance Grades

available at www.abrsm.org/performancegrades.

Interpreting the score: Whether a song contains printed musical indications or not, candidates

are encouraged to interpret the score in a musical and stylistic way. Examiners’ marking will be

determined by how candidates’ decisions contribute to the musical outcome of each individual song

and to the performance as a whole.

Performing from memory: Candidates are encouraged to perform all songs from memory.

Ossias: Where an ossia (alternative musical line or note) occurs in the music, candidates may

choose either option unless the repertoire list speciﬁes dierently.

of copyright music is not allowed. In the UK, copies may be used in certain limited circumstances

– for full details, see the MPA’s Code of Fair Practice at www.mpaonline.org.uk/mpa-guidelines. In

all other cases, application should be made to the copyright holder before any copy is made. Care

should also be taken when making arrangements, as permission will be required in the case of

Candidates and Applicants are expected to act within the law with regard to copyright. ABRSM may

withhold the exam result where we have evidence that this is not the case.

Sourcing exam music: Exam music is available from music retailers and online, including at the

ABRSM music shop: www.abrsm.org/shop. Every eort has been made to make sure that the

publications listed will be available for the duration of the syllabus. We advise candidates to get

their music well before the exam in case items are not kept in stock by retailers. Non-exam related

questions about the music (e.g. editorial, availability) should be addressed to the relevant publisher:

contact details are listed at www.abrsm.org/publishers.
