Performance-only guitar exams!

Want to focus purely on playing?

Our performance-only guitar exams let you earn a recognised qualification by showcasing your playing skills. There’s no theory tests or musicianship requirements, just you and your guitar showing what you can do.

Choose at least one piece from our Orange graded Guitar books (available in our free online courses) and complement it with free-choice pieces that match our guidelines or align with other exam boards’ grade levels.

It’s the perfect path for performers who want to progress at their own pace whilst gaining formal recognition of their playing abilities.

We are passionate about your potential which is why our courses focus not only on performing pieces, but also technique, musicianship skills (such as sight-reading and improvisation), listening skills and theory!  We want to offer you training in all the skills you need to know to become a well-rounded musician and most importantly to have fun whilst you master your instrument.
