ABOUT OUR SKILL LEVELS

    Based on customer feedback, we have designed a new music grading system which allows for easier correlation. This new grading system is based on the following three key factors: technical ability; demands on compass range; musicality and music styling.

        These three factors encompass your requirements based on the feedback you have given us. Below is a general overview of the skill levels:

 


Few technical and range demands. Musical style is easy to emulate. May be compared to 4th section brass band standard.

____________________________________________


Technical and range demands are controlled and musical style is manageable. Principal parts range may be stretched on occasion. May be compared to 3rd section brass band standard.

____________________________________________


Musical style would suit intermediate musicians and some level of experience would be helpful. Technical and range demands are within manageable limits but may be stretched on principal parts. May be compared to 2nd section brass band standard.

____________________________________________


Requires a good degree of musical skill and interpretation. Challenges technically and musically. May be compared to 1st section brass band standard.

____________________________________________

4) Support artistry and creativity.
