Old German Dance (Praetorius); Allegretto (no. 9 from 24 Short and Easy Pieces, op. 1) (Reinagle); Summer Swing (Müller, ed. Wild); March Time (Vogel); The Giant (Papp); Into the Distance (Wild); Boogie (Daxböck); Echo Dance (Yandell); Please Stay, Chihuahua (Gerou); Merlin's Incantation (Walker); Kindergarten Blues (Gruber); Muay Thai (The Boxing Star) (Thuntawech)
The Initial Grade, Grade 1 and Grade 2 piano syllabus from Trinity
each feature a choice of 12 pieces in the core repertoire book
(including one duet) and a further nine additional pieces. Unlike
other boards, the selection is not grouped into lists, giving the
learners freedom in choosing three pieces. There is scope for the
candidate to focus on a style or genre of music, or to explore a
broad range of diverse material. Ranging from the Renaissance style
of Praetorius to the contemporary work of Ben Crosland, for the
most part each syllabus appears to offer a consistent level of
technical challenges. These three grades represent a delightful
collection of repertoires which will capture the imagination of
early pianists. There is something here for everyone!

.…when it comes to syllabus design that supports educational and
musical excellence, it now seems to me that TCL have delivered the
new number one choice, a syllabus that ticks every box. Welcome to
the new “Gold Standard".
Andrew Eales, pianodao.com, August 2020 The exceptionally
wide-ranging, new piano syllabus launched by Trinity last week goes
out of its way to provide maximum flexibility and opportunity for
candidates to flourish. The two-list format is quite different from
ABRSM, and even though numerous pieces in both boards interchange
and connect from grade to grade, the current Trinity list
prioritises flexibility and freedom of choice to an exceptional
extent. The sheer number of choices on offer is staggering, and
though past syllabus material is present, the fact that candidates
themselves have not known the music previously means that they are
presented throughout the whole selection with an extremely diverse
and contrasted range.
