Electric guitar courses

Graded electric guitar courses are available and range from preliminary level through to grade 8. These internationally recognised grades are available throughout the year with an exam at the end of each grade. Each grade is achieved with a series of 1-1 lessons. This allows you to study at your own pace, be flexible and take the exam when you are ready.

During the grade you will cover a short assessment and a mock exam to ensure you are fully prepared to take the exam when the time comes. Each grade has an exam book that you will need in order to take the course.

The exams are usually conducted in March/April (spring), June/July (summer) and November/December (winter). Once you are ready to take you exam you will be entered into the next available exam period. To be entered for the exam you are required to complete your entry form which is located in the back of your exam book and submit along with the exam fee by the entry date (see examination entry fees).

Supplementary books are available as a study aid for the main sections of each grade. These are not required but are recommended as they are a good resource for preparing for the exam.

In order to find out which grade is appropriate for you to start with you are welcome to book a free ½ hour session with us to discuss all the details. This will also include a brief assessment to make sure you are at the right ability level for your choice of grade.
