We’re delighted to announce that we’re announcing pre-order for Woodwind Syllabus on 5 June 2025 for use in exams from January 2026.

 

The new syllabus, for Practical and Performance Grades, features refreshed repertoire for Flute, Clarinet, Saxophones, Oboe, Bassoon and Recorders, covering a broad selection of music from a wide range of composers. The repertoire lists include newly-commissioned pieces as well as tried and tested favourites that we’ve kept in the syllabus. 

 

To support the new syllabus, we’ll be publishing new books of Exam Pieces for Clarinet, Flute and Saxophone. Available for Grades 1 to 8, each book contains nine selected pieces for the grade. Additionally, Exam Packs for Grades 1 to 5 will include the nine selected pieces along with scales and arpeggios, and sample sight-reading tests.

 

There are no changes to the scale or sight-reading requirements, and the current supporting publications continue to be valid.
