Two pieces and a study are included for each grade, and there are examples of sight-reading tests and sample viva voce questions. The LCM requirements, unlike those for other examinations syllabuses, replace scales and rudiments with tuning tests, and marks are awarded for musicianship as well as for technical ability from the earliest stages.
