Before the assessment
Harpsichord – Practical Grades

Practical Grades are face-to-face exams that focus on all-round musical knowledge and skills, including performance. Harpsichord exams are available at Grades 4 to 8. In the exam you perform three pieces, play scales and arpeggios and take tests in sight-reading and figured bass realisation and aural.
