Description
The RGT Acoustic Guitar Preliminary Grade is part of the wider range of RGT studies and known as the leader in guitar examination and education. RGT syllabi currently cover a wide range of styles and experience levels, ensuring that there is the right exam for any Rock, Jazz, Electric, Acoustic or Bass guitarist wishing to better themselves on the instrument!
RGT Acoustic Guitar Preliminary Grade:
- chords
- scales
- rhythm study
- 2 pieces
- aural assessment.
The Initial Stage and Preliminary Grades include well-known traditional melodies, which are particularly suited to younger students. Some teenagers may prefer to enter at Grade 1 after having learnt the chords and scales from Preliminary Level, and it is important to supplement the handbook material in lessons with music they enjoy listening to.
Bear in mind that the choice of melodies that can be played in the exams is not limited to those in the handbook – a ‘free-choice’ option of any well-known melody from 1960 onwards is permitted, and some adults and older teens might prefer this option.
RGT Acoustic Guitar Preliminary Grade Benefits:
Enhance your teaching business by promoting the benefits of grade exams. Grade exams provide an important progress indicator for the student and their parents, as well as for the tutor.
Although not all students may initially aspire to take grade exams, once a teacher explains all the benefits that an exam course brings, such as making sure their playing develops in a really comprehensive way so that they’ll start to become fully developed players that can cope with a wide range of musical styles, then most students are willing to give it a try.
From the teacher’s perspective, once a student has started on an exam course, they are far less likely to give up lessons midway as they have a defined goal to reach.
The teacher also benefits from the ease of teaching from a structured syllabus, and the ability to offer an accredited certificate reward to their students.
