Trinity Rock & Pop Exams

We are excited to offer our students the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification through Trinity Rock & Pop exams.

The Trinity Exam Syllabus complements the G4 GUITAR Method well. The G4 GUITAR method is skill based and the Trinity Rock & Pop syllabus is song based meaning students get a complete, well rounded guitar and musical education. 

Although a great achievement, I must emphasise that these exams are NOT compulsory, and should be regarded as an opportunity for students to gain a certain level within their hobby. 

No pressure will be put upon the child to take part in the exam, nor indeed yourself. 

Please note that Trinity Rock & Pop Grades 6-8 are included in the UK Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) tariff, and attract UCAS points for university and higher education entry.

how does it work?

STEP ONE

Learn three songs from the Trinity Rock & Pop syllabus in your normal lessons

STEP TWO

Book an individual assessment lesson so you know what to work on

STEP THREE

Record the three songs as a continuous performance on one of our recording days

STEP FOUR

Enter for the exam via the Trinity website and upload your performance video

how do we enter?

We will let you know when your child is ready to register for the grade and take the exam.

These examinations are entirely digital, when you have been advised by G4 Ashford that you/your child are ready you can then book one of our individual assessment lessons, where we can give you personalised feedback on what to work on.

Following your assessment lesson when you feel ready to record your video you can book on to one of our recording days to record your exam video.

After receiving your exam video from us you can then enter for the exam through Trinity’s website. 

how much does it cost?

Trinity exam fees are listed in the table below. For an additional £40 you can buy G4 Ashford’s exam package, which includes an individual lesson with Paul and a session with us to record your video, after which we will send you a link to download ready to submit directly to Trinity. This also includes Paul’s feedback on videos submitted through WhatsApp in preparation for the recording day.
