Course Overview
At Vocals Grade 6 you'll test your vocal cords and improve your control by tackling large major and minor intervals, new scales and tackling dynamics and register changes. At exam time, you'll perform a testing series of longer pieces.
When you reach Vocals Grade 7, you're well on your way to becoming a pro¬level vocalist. So it's time to up your game, as you master advanced stylistic techniques, sustained note bends and large intervallic leaps, before performing a series of extended performance pieces in your exam.
