WHAT IS IT ? quick facts

 

Music Examinations are held twice year at four different venues. Four venues are chosen

1.In south Mumbai

2.Western Suburbs

3. Navi Mumbai

4.Thane

Practical Examination grades start from initial to eight,
and then 3 diploma levels. On an average, you can expect to complete learning each course in a years time. That means it will take you one year to get through each grade exam. The advanced levels of 6,7 and 8 require more practice time ,so its common for students to appear once every two years for those levels.

Each Grade level consists of three pieces (22 marks each),technical play (14 marks) and two supporting  tests worth 20 marks.

Twice a year,an Examiner from the UK comes down to the exam centers, and you will have to play those 3 pieces along with the other tests in
front of the examiner in the prescribed time, which is anywhere between  10 minutes to half hour depending on your grade.

Theory Examinations also take place at a select venue in South Mumbai once a year,also range from initial grade level through 8 grades.

 

How to get admission in Trinity college of Music in India?

 

Many people have messaged this question so let me explain that the Original trinity college is in London, and the course is a correspondence course as such. How you can take admission is by filling up the exam form when it is released about 6 months prior to the examination date.

You will get the syllabus and the books that you can choose your pieces from, which is to be bought separately. It is highly recommended to start music lessons from a teacher that sends pupils for these exams, that way the teacher will fill up the forms and send them on your behalf

TRINITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC MUMBAI – HOW TOUGH IS IT?

Trinity College of Music grade exams are a complete test
musicianship that takes about a year to prepare for as stated before. There is a lot of choice as far as the pieces go, and teachers can select them based on the student in mind.

In addition to these 3 pieces, the supplementary tests like aural ear tests and site reading require a lot of practice too, but anyone with a decent ear and rhythm can clear the lower level grades provided they get few hours in the week to practice. Like any education hard work is required in the weeks preceding the exam.

 

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Assuming you have already started basic music lessons from
an instructed teacher, a music education need not be too expensive, but it
depends on the instrument you are learning too.

Expenses encountered are:

1.Examination fees

Practical Grade exams cost anywhere between 2500 to 5800 per
grade depending on the grade, and theory exams start from 1800 to 3500.

2.Music Classes

Music classes in the city will set you back about 2000-3000
a month for 4 classes that are usually 45 minutes each

3.Books,CDs etc

Examination books, CDs and other expenses cost about 2000-4500

So you’re total expense for a year of clearing one level grade examination would be in the range of 45,000-55,00 p.a.
