Description

The ABRSM Cello syllabus for Grades 1-7 offers an invaluable repertoire to explore for further study. The syllabus features a diverse range of contrasting styles, from the Renaissance works of Dowland to the 20th century compositions of Grainger, as well as pieces spanning the Baroque (Couperin) to the Ragtime era (Joplin). Importantly, the arrangements cover the note ranges and keys appropriate for the early cello grades.
