What Students Will Develop
Advanced intonation and fingerboard control

Refined bow control, articulation and bow distribution
Greater command of dynamics and tone colour
Complex rhythmic and technical coordination
Stylistic awareness across contrasting musical periods
Expressive phrasing and individual musical interpretation
Performance confidence at an advanced level
Technical Exercises
This is primarily a repertoire and exam-pieces book, rather than a dedicated technical exercise collection. The Grade 8 repertoire nevertheless provides extensive opportunities to develop advanced position work, shifting, bow technique, articulation, finger agility, double-stopping, rhythmic control and expressive interpretation.
For Practical Grade preparation, students should use this repertoire alongside the separate ABRSM Grade 8 technical requirements for scales, arpeggios and other examination components.
